'Raj Thackeray Is Afraid Of...': Sanjay Raut's Dig Over At BJP-MNS Alliance Talks For Mahim Assembly Seat

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut took a dig at MNS chief Raj Thackeray for praising the BJP, alleging that he wanted to secure his son's political future.

Amid the possibility of the BJP lending support to Raj Thackeray's son in Mahim, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday took a dig at the Maharashtra Navniraman Sena chief and the Mahayuti. Raut, who is part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), said Raj Thackeray has started praising the BJP because he fears for his son's future.

MNS chief Raj Thackeray over a recent statement. When questioned about Thackeray's remarks, Raut said, "His son is contesting the election, so you can understand his mental state. The leader who once said that he wouldn’t allow Home Minister Amit Shah and PM Narendra Modi into Maharashtra is now praising them."

Raut further said, "Raj Thackeray fears for his son's future, but in any case, a Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leader will become Maharashtra's Chief Minister. Raj Thackeray knows this."

Raut also accused BJP leaders of stealing his party's identity and values, saying, "Everyone knows how the theft happened repeatedly, including the theft of our party and our election symbol. PM Modi, Amit Shah, and Devendra Fadnavis are part of a larger conspiracy, and now Raj Thackeray is aligning himself with them.
