“We Are Your Baap”: Shiv Sena Warns BJP Minister Amid Notice Threat

Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut hits back at BJP leader and Union Minister Narayan Rane amid “threatening”  the Maharashtra government and the Thackeray family. He sternly warns him, and asked him to “stop giving threats” and added a subtle counterthreat of exposing the “system of extortion” in Mumbai.

“You might be a Union Minister but this is Maharashtra. Don’t forget this. We are your ‘baap (father)’, you very well know what that means,” Raut said in Mumbai.

On Friday Rane had stated that he has “learnt” that ED notices are ready for four people in ‘Matoshree’, the private residence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in suburban Bandra.

“Narayan Rane is threatening us that he has our horoscope…We too have your horoscope,” Sanjay Raut.

Further he had targeted at controversial BJP MP Kirit Somaiya who has recently been making sensational allegations against Shiv Sena leaders and the ruling MVA government in the state. The BJP-Sena slugfest has intensified recently with Mr Raut and Mr Somaiya both claiming to have evidence of corruption and extortion against each other’s parties.

“You (Kirit Somaiya) give documents of scam to central agencies, I’ll give yours. Don’t threaten, we won’t be scared,” Raut said.

Somaiya had said that he would be submitting documents to probe agencies to prove his allegations against Sena top brass. Raut, in turn, has also claimed to be in possession of documents proving that the BJP MP was involved in corruption amounting to over ₹ 300 crore and that he even used Home Minister Amit Shah’s name for extortion.

Sanjay Raut on Thursday had alleged that Somaiya had extorted over ₹ 300 crore through a slum rehabilitation project at Peru Baug in Powai. Today, he has pointed to another project in Palghar.

“Work on his ₹ 260 cr worth project is underway in Palghar. It’s in his son’s name, his wife is the director. Must probe how did he get the money,” the Sena MP said.
