MP Gaikwad Now Targets Cops, Video Goes Viral
Mumbai: After a revoke of flying ban, Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad is back in news for yet another wrong reason. A video of the MP having heated argument with the policemen has gone viral. The video shows MP arguing over ‘non- functioning’ of ATMs at Latur in Marathwada region.
The Lok Sabha member from Osmanabad constituency reached Latur on Wednesday and had sent his aide to withdraw money from an ATM. However, the aide returned empty-handed, saying the ATM had run out of cash. This happened with a few other ATMs, prompting the Sena MP to go out and stage a protest with his supporters outside an ATM.

When policemen arrived and requested Gaikwad to discontinue his protest as it was hampering the vehicular traffic, the Sena MP shouted at them, police said.
Giving his version of the incident, Gaikwad said, "There is no money in the ATMs for the last 15 days. What should we do? They (the BJP-led government) asked us to give them 50 days (after demonetisation, for normalisation of financial transactions). We gave them 100 days, then 200 days. It is the job of the (Union) Finance Minister and the Finance Minister of Maharashtra. It is also the job of the Guardian Minister of Latur district to rectify the situation," he said.
