In the morning, the Saamana editorial had said the Congress was a "creakingold cot" while referring to the resentment in the Congress for `not getting enough say' in the decision-making.

However, speaking to reporters here later, Raut said no matter how many times the cot creaks, Rahul Gandhi is the "mechanic who can repair it and ensure its maintenance".

"He is a good leader," Raut added.

He had spoken to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on the issue of resentment of state Congress leaders, the Sena leader said.

"They will meet the chief minister. All of them share cordial relations. There is no problem in the government. All decisions are taken by the cabinet," he said.

On the editorial referring to the Congress as a "creaking old cot", Raut said the Saamana uses a different kind of language to put forth its views.
