As veteran Maharashtra politician Eknath Khadse appeared before the Enforcement Directorate once again, he said that he and his family members are being targeted politically.

Khadse (68), who has been politically sidelined for nearly five years, left the BJP following differences with the leader of opposition and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and joined the NCP.

“The case is a politically-motivated case… My family members and I are being targeted politically,” Khadse.

“I will cooperate. Entire Maharashtra is witnessing what is happening... Inquiry has already been done 5 times. It is being done again now. ACB has given a report that there is no evidence,” he said.

Khadse appeared before the ED’s Mumbai office yet again and a day after his son-in-law Girish Chaudhary was arrested by the federal agency.

"It's a conspiracy against me," he added.
