Raut said the Shinder faction of the Shiv Sena was actually a part of the BJP and alleged that Shinde had shown that PM Modi, and not Balasaheb Thackeray, was his leader.
On Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis rejecting the agitation over Marathwada drought relief, Raut said assurances had been given for a long time but had not been fulfilled.
He said the agitation was being held because the assurances had not been implemented and claimed that nobody paid attention to what the Chief Minister said.
On Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange, Raut said if the government had satisfied the demands, it would have been welcome.
He alleged that ministers took an aggressive stance in the Cabinet and later went to “lick their boots” when things went wrong, questioning why they had gone to do so.
“Ministers take an aggressive stance in the Cabinet and then when things go wrong, they go to lick their boots, I am saying. ..then why did they go to hem? The government is duping the people,” he said. (ANI)
