Gokhale also said that the RSS workers had also threatened his mother. He also tagged the official twitter handle of Thane Rural Police in the tweet.
Earlier in the day, claims made by Gokhale had taken the political circles by storm. Gokhale in a tweet had claimed that Maharashtra Election Commission had hired a firm reportedly linked to the BJP IT cell for its social media promotions in the run-up to the assembly elections held last year.
On Friday, Allahabad High Court had also dismissed Gokhale's plea to restrain Ram Mandir's Bhoomi Pujan. In his plea, Gokhale had said that 300 people have been invited on August 5 for the event and that may cause violation of the social distancing regulations to combat the COVID-19 pandemic

Neha Hiremath's family takes centre stage at Amit Shah's campaign meeting
Hubballi: In turn of events at Union Home Minister Amit Shah's campaign rally, the family of Neha Hiremath, who tragically lost her life, took to the stage to demand justice. The incident happened during Shah's Lok Sabha election campaign speech in Hubballi.
Neha's parents, accompanied by her brother, met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah prior to the commencement of the campaign meeting. Expressing their demand for justice, they were seated on the platform adjacent to the event stage.
Amidst speculation and discussion, Neha Hiremath's father, Niranjan Hiremath, a member of Hubli's Congress party, shared the stage with BJP leaders, garnering attention and raising questions about the arrangement of seats for Neha's family at the BJP's campaign event.
The presence of a member from an opposing political party on the stage of the Union Home Minister's campaign rally, alongside the stringent security measures in place, has sparked debates regarding the orchestration of the event.
