The alleged incident took place when Patil, who is also the Guardian Minister of Pune and Kolhapur, was addressing a group in Shirol. Kolhapur and Sangli in western Maharashtra are the worst flood-hit districts.
Interrupting Patil, some people tried to draw his attention to their plight. Others started demanding immediate relief. While assuring them of all help, Patil allegedly lost his temper and asked them to “shut up” in Marathi. The state BJP played down the incident, saying the minister has been monitoring the flood situation in Kolhapur and Sangli continuously.
