Once again sharp arrows of statements have started flying in the politics of Maharashtra, which has created a huge uproar in the political circles of the state. Shiv Sena’s (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) firebrand leader and MP Sanjay Raut has made the most serious and sharp attack so far on the rebel MPs and MLAs who left the party. Raut alleged in a very aggressive manner that the people who had come to Matoshree (the residence of the Thackeray family) and had taken oath before Saibaba of Shirdi, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s idol Maa Bhavani and revered Bala Saheb Thackeray, had sold their allegiance due to the greed of a few rupees. After this statement, the war of words between the ruling party and the opposition in Maharashtra has become very intense.
Raut’s new claim on the allegation of embezzlement of Rs 50-50 crores
Sanjay Raut, during a public meeting and while talking to the media, while cornering the rebel group, said that the reality of the leaders who betrayed Shiv Sena has now come before the public. Taking the ‘Khoke’ (crores of rupees) jibe further, he claimed that each rebel MP and leader was offered Rs 50 crore to switch sides, which they accepted. Raut said that Uddhav Thackeray gave respect to all these leaders, gave them tickets and elevated them from the floor to the throne, but these people also ignored the oaths taken at the doorstep of the holy Matoshree and wrote a new script of betrayal.
A new political war broke out on Matoshree’s oaths and allegiance.
After this statement of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, Shinde faction and Mahayuti leaders also immediately retaliated. Spokespersons of the ruling party say that Sanjay Raut is making such fabricated allegations out of frustration because the public is not with him on the ground. At the same time, political analysts believe that this statement of Sanjay Raut is a big strategic attempt to directly touch the sentiments of Shiv Sainiks and the people of Maharashtra. By using the names of Balasaheb Thackeray, Maa Bhavani and Saibaba, Raut has taken a gamble to put the rebels in the dock and prove himself to be the protector of the legacy of the real Bal Thackeray.
This statement echoed from Mumbai, Nagpur to Delhi.
After this sensational revelation by Sanjay Raut, a huge stir is being seen among Shiv Sainiks in major cities of Maharashtra like Mumbai, Dadar, Thane, Pune, Nagpur and Nashik. At the local level, workers of both the groups have come face to face on social media. The impact of this political conflict has also reached the country’s capital Delhi, where both the alliances are busy setting their stakes for the upcoming elections. Experts say that this war of ‘treason versus loyalty’ in Maharashtra politics is going to take a more aggressive form in the coming days.
