Devendra Fadnavis also said that Shiv Sena candidates have fought the 1984 Lok Sabha elections on the symbol of BJP. When Shiv Sena was with us, it was No. 1 and No. 2, but after leaving it, it has become the No. 4 party. He said that we proudly greet the Shiv Sena chief, the Hindu heart emperor, but Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra of the party with which the government is running a simple tweet on the birth anniversary of Shiv Sena chief. What did you do too? This is the helplessness of power.
Before the establishment of BJP, Mayor of Shiv Sena, Sanjay Raut’s counterattack
Shiv Sena leader and MP Sanjay Raut hit back at Devendra Fadnavis saying that Shiv Sena was founded in the year 1969, while BJP was born in 1980. Shiv Sena’s Hemchandra Gupte was the mayor of Mumbai when BJP was born. Vamanrao Mhadik, Pramod Navalkar and Chhagan Bhujbal were also elected as MLAs of Shiv Sena. Devendra Fadnavis was in Nagpur at that time, he had nothing to do with Mumbai or Maharashtra politics.
Why Aurangabad’s name not changed: Sanjay Raut
On the issue of renaming cities, Raut said that Devendra Fadnavis was the chief minister of the state for five years, then why did he not change the name of Aurangabad. Raut asked whether he had been hugging Aurangzeb for five years. If a city wants to change its name, then it has to take permission from the central government. Yogi, who changed the name of Allahabad to Prayagraj, is calling Adityanath a Hindu supporter. So why didn’t Fadnavis change the name of Aurangabad like Yogi? Sanjay Raut said that the construction of Ram temple was not done by Narendra Modi, but by the Supreme Court. BJP has given a Rajya Sabha seat to Justice Ranjan Gogoi, who delivered the Ayodhya verdict.
