Nashik, Aug 7 (PTI) Para-athlete and Commonwealth Games gold medalist Dilip Gavit could not meet MNS chief Raj Thackeray here even after waiting for nearly two hours, his coach has claimed.
Gavit, who won the gold in the men’s 100m T47 final in the recently concluded Glasgow CWG, had been invited to meet Thackeray, who was touring Nashik, on Thursday, said his coach Vaijanath Kale.
A video showed MNS workers placating Kale and asking him to wait for some more time.
“We were waiting for quite some time….Sir (Thackeray) is busy. We will meet him later,” Kale is heard saying.
A reaction from MNS was not immediately available.
