'He Should Be Within His Limits': BJP After Sanjay Raut's 'Rs 2,000-Crore Deal With EC' Charge

Sanjay Raut claimed that a deal of Rs 2,000 crore has been made so far to purchase the Shiv Sena name and its 'bow and arrow' symbol.

New Delhi: Mumbai BJP president Ashish Shelar on Sunday reacted to Sanjay Raut's allegations after the leader of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) claimed that a deal of Rs 2,000 crore has been made so far to purchase the Shiv Sena name and its 'bow and arrow' symbol. He added that he will soon disclose details of the same. "Sanjay Raut should be within limits. He never won any election nor fought any...When a person (Uddhav Thackeray) is frustrated or depressed he says anything. He abandoned ideas of Shiv Sena, and Hindutva for politics," said Ashish as quoted by news agency ANI.

Meanwhile, former CM Uddhav Thackeray reacted saying, "They are doing such low-level politics that they could even take away our 'mashaal' (flaming torch). They can steal the 'bow & arrow' but they can't take out Lord Ram from the hearts of people."

Raut tweeted, "I have reliable information that there has been a deal of Rs 2000 crore to get the Shiv Sena name and its symbol. This is a preliminary figure and is 100 per cent true.” 

“Many things will be revealed shortly. Never before this has happened in the country's history," he added. 

Talking to the news agency ANI, Raut said without naming anyone, "The party, the leader & the dishonest group that bids Rs 50 cr for MLAs, Rs 100 cr for MPs & Rs 50 lahks to 1 cr to buy our councillors. How much it would bid to take our name & symbol, you decide? My info is Rs 2,000 Crores. "

He added that he has informed the nation with his tweet that the way his symbol & Shiv Sena’s name have been taken is not just, it's a business deal for which Rs 2000 cr worth of transactions are done within 6 months.  

"And this is my initial estimate," Raut added. 

However, according to PTI, MLA Sada Sarvankar from Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde camp, dismissed the claim and asked, "Is Sanjay Raut a cashier?"  

PTI mentioned that Raut also told reporters that a builder close to the ruling dispensation shared this information with him. 

The remarks came after the Election Commission on Friday recognised the Eknath Shinde-led faction as the real Shiv Sena and allotted the 'bow and arrow' poll symbol to it. 

The Election Commission allocated the party name "Shiv Sena" and poll symbol "bow and arrow" to the Eknath Shinde faction. In its 78-page ruling, the EC noted that MLAs backing Eknath Shinde got nearly 76 per cent of votes polled in favour of 55 winning Shiv Sena candidates in the 2019 Maharashtra Assembly election.
