Gaikwad comes up with an ‘agreement' to ‘fight' AIMIM MP Imtiaz Jaleel
He also said that he has made an 'agreement' on Rs 500 stamp duty paper for the 'fight' with Jaleel.
Responding to Gaikwad's challenge Jaleel said that the chapter is closed for him and asked the Sena MLA to not indulge in cheap publicity gimmicks.
Gaikwad was caught in a controversy after he slapped a staffer of the Akashwani MLA hostel canteen in Mumbai earlier this month. Following this Jaleel had said, 'If I was in place of the canteen owner, I would have thrashed Gaikwad,'
On Wednesday speaking at a rally in Buldhana Gaikwad said, 'I have come up with an agreement duly signed on Rs 500 stamp paper. Jaleel has given me a personal challenge. Jaleel and I will fight it out. There will be no use of weapons. Whatever happens in this fight, we both will be responsible for it. Jaleel should decide the day, time and venue for this fight,' he said.
'The chapter is closed for me..I do not want to indulge in unnecessary verbal duel with him. I want to continue to focus on development in my area as well in Maharashtra. I have no time to indulge in such publicity gimmicks. I would urge Gaikwad too to stop indulging in such tactics,' Jaleel told The Indian Express.

1 2 Hyderabad: Telangana Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud on Sunday said that candidates to contest the panchayat, MPTC, and ZPTC elections would be selected based on survey reports and feedback from key party leaders regarding their winning prospects. "Priority will be given to those who work hard at the grassroots level. The selection of candidates will be a mix of young and senior leaders. It is the responsibility of the senior leaders to guide the younger members. Women will get their quota of seats in the local body polls," he said at the party workers' meeting held in Nizamabad.

Man held for misuse of councillor's stamp to change Aadhaar records
Vadodara: A man was arrested by the Vadodara city police on Sunday for allegedly misusing the stamp of a municipal councillor to fraudulently change addresses in Aadhaar records. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The accused, Paresh Kelwani, runs a web solutions shop in the Warasia area. Police are investigating whether Kelwani has committed similar offences in the past and how many records were altered using the the councillor's stamp. According to police, BJP councillor Hemisha Thakkar was recently informed by BJP worker Hardik Prajapati that her official stamp was being used on documents to facilitate Aadhaar address changes. Prajapati learned of the misuse when he visited Kelwani's shop to update his address in Aadhaar records. When he told Kelwani that he lacked valid address proof, Kelwani allegedly offered to make the change using the councillor's stamp in exchange for Rs 950. Prajapati immediately informed Thakkar, who discovered that the addresses of at least three individuals had been changed in Aadhaar records using her stamp. She also stated that the stamp bore her former designation as chairperson of the recreational and cultural committee — a position she held around one and a half years ago. Thakkar said that even her forged signature had been used for the fraudulent address changes. She reported the matter to her party leadership and subsequently lodged a complaint at the city police station. Police have seized Kelwani's computer for further investigation. In recent months, Vadodara has seen a spike in cases involving forged documents — including fake birth certificates — being used to obtain Aadhaar cards. Many such rackets were uncovered by officials of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) during verification of Aadhaar applicants.
