Vijay Wadettiwar Apologizes to Supriya Sule Over OBC Certificate Allegation
Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar apologized to NCP leader Supriya Sule after mistakenly alleging she held an OBC certificate, a claim Sule strongly denied and challenged him to prove. Wadettiwar said her name was mentioned inadvertently while discussing allegations against other Maratha leaders, including BJP's Vikhe Patil. Sule expressed frustration over repeated targeting by Congress members and plans to raise the issue with party leadership. Wadettiwar maintained his broader stance on OBC certificates among Maratha leaders despite the apology.
