Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut stated on Wednesday that a father-son combo will go to jail, a day after accusing senior BJP politicians and businesspeople of being involved in corrupt practises and targeting former MP Kirit Somaiya.
“Father-son duo will go to jail. Wait and watch. Sanitisation of the barrack is going on,” he tweeted in Marathi.
Raut, however, didn’t name any politician in his post.
Raut launched a personal attack on Somaiya during a news conference at the Shiv Sena headquarters in Mumbai on Tuesday. Somaiya has been making a litany of allegations against the Sena brass and other Maha Vikas Aghadi politicians.
Neil Somaiya, the son of Kirit Somaiya, was linked to Rakesh Wadhwan, a suspect in the PMC bank scam, according to Raut.
Raut had also said that he will submit all the papers in this connection to chief minister Uddhav Thackeray for appropriate action. He had also demanded the arrest of Somaiya father-son in the PMC case.
Denying allegations, Kirit Somaiya had said that he was ready to face any investigation. “I have done nothing wrong. I was never indulged in corruption. I am ready to face any inquiry,” he had said.
Days before his press conference, which was attended by Shiv Sena MLAs, ministers and thousands of party workers, Raut had said that “three-and-a-half” leaders of BJP will go to jail and former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh will walk out of the jail.
Deshmukh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.
