Reacting to her tweet, Raut said that she isn’t the spokesperson of our party so she should better be careful of what she says. “Yes, I too feel the same way. They (rebel group) are our own people. If both leaders and all Sainiks come together, the party will be a happy unit, They are our own people. These days, they are criticising me for my statements which were made when they suddenly dumped the party. At that particular moment, we were all shaken and angry. And in such a moment, you don’t expect people to praise those who left. Whatever was said was in anger,” he further added. The MP said rebel leaders who criticized him should introspect a bit.

A Shiv Sena faction led by Eknat Shinde raised the banner of rebellion in Maharashtra, which led to Thackeray’s resignation as chief minister and the overthrow of the coalition government of Maha Vikas Agadi (MVA). On June 30, Shinde was sworn in as the new chief minister of the BJP-Shinde government.
