Mumbai:Ā Even as the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra appeared to be on shaky ground, Shiv Sena National spokesperson Sanjay Raut claimed that the party is still strong and that the rebels were not true “bhakts” (devotees) of Bal Thackeray, the late founder of the party.Ā
“I won’t talk about any camp; I will talk about my party. Our party is strong even to this day… About 20 MLAs are in touch with us. When they come to Mumbai, you will get to know,” Mr. Raut said while interacting with the media. “It will soon be revealed, under what circumstances and pressure these MLAs left us.”
He alleged that the Enforcement Directorate under the central government was misused to create pressure. “He who leaves the party under ED pressure is not a true BalasahebĀ bhakt. We’re true BalasahebĀ bhakts,” he said.
He further said he too is under ED pressure “Even we have ED pressure but we will continue to stand with Uddhav Thackeray. When the floor test happens everyone will see who’s positive and who is negative.”
Meanwhile, Mamta Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress has staged a protest outside the Guwahati hotel, alleging sale of MLAs.
