Mumbai: Shiv Sena has hit back at Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Replying to Shah’s challenge, Shiv Sena leader and MP Sanjay Raut said that if there is courage, the BJP should contest the re-election by getting all its 105 MLAs to resign. Rejecting Shah’s allegations, Raut said that we are the descendants of Chhatrapati Shivaji and do not hit the back.
Shiv Sena leader Raut alleged that the central government is fighting with three armors. CBI, ED and NCB are being used to fight us in Maharashtra. If you have the courage, take off these three armors and face them straight. We are ready to fight on all fronts.
BJP betrayed Shiv Sena for power in 2014
He said that the BJP had betrayed the Shiv Sena for power in the year 2014. Shiv Sena never gave up Hindutva and will never do so. Amit Shah should answer who sidelined us for power in 2014. Raut said that the Maharashtra government is performing well despite full pressure from all the central agencies. I can understand their sorrow. Their machinery has failed.
