About 12 hours before voting in Maharashtra, in 2004, former IPS officer Ravindranath Patil said something about Supriya Sule and Maharashtra Congress Chief Nana Patole, due to which political turmoil started. He had accused Sule of being involved in a fraud related to cryptocurrency in 2018. He said that this currency was used in the assembly election campaign. He also claimed that a Bitcoin dealer Amitabh Gupta It was he who told them about the involvement of Sule and Nana Patole. Both have already sold bitcoins worth Rs 150 crore. He still has currency worth several hundred crores left. After this allegation of the former IPS officer, BJP also attacked NCP-Congress. BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi called a press conference and shared the video of the conversation between Sule, Patole and the dealer.
