Mumbai: A day after Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut's wife Varsha Raut was issued summon by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the fiery Sena leader alleged that the central agency and BJP have "entered in an alliance".  Varsha Raut has been asked by the ED to join the investigation on December 29 in PMC Bank scam case. "Three BJP leaders regularly visit the ED office and collect documents. I have proof of this. How does the BJP come to know what cases the ED is probing, have they entered into an alliance with each other?," Sanjay Raut said while levelling allegations in a press conference today. Raut also said, “if they (BJP) stoop so low targeting kids, women and family, Sena will reply to them in that fashion.” The Shiv Sena MP exclaimed he is "not scared of anyone" and will respond to such tactics in a similar manner. He further added, that he has a list of BJP leaders which can be investigated by the ED. "I have a list of 120 BJP leaders (scams) which the ED can investigate for five years," Raut added during his presser. Shiv Sena's chief spokesperson made it clear that all efforts by BJP, using central agencies, to browbeat Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress alliance in the state will not succeed.
