On Thursday, Sanjay Raut, the leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), leveled a serious charge against the BJP-led federal government, alleging that “Misuse of the Election Commission and all Central agencies is happening.” He claimed that Sharad Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), had claimed that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) made decisions regarding who joins which parties and who is appointed as a minister.
“Misuse of Election Commission and all Central agencies is happening. NCP Chief Sharad Pawar said that the ED decides who joins which party and it also decides who becomes a minister. This is a very serious statement by Pawar Sahab…” he said.
The Raja Sabha MP also questioned the election commission for alloting the Shiv Sena symbol to the rebel faction led by Eknath Shinde and claimed that a simmilar thing was happening with the NCP. “Sharad Pawar formed the Party and despite that you are giving party to Ajit Pawar , Balasahab Thackarey’s party,Uddhav Thackeray is there but they are giving the symbol to Shinde what kind of justice is this”? Raut said.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut reacted angrily to reports that Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar had offered Sharad Pawar a position in the Union Cabinet, declaring that “Ajit Pawar is not that big of a leader that he can make an offer to Sharad Pawar.” Sanjay Raut stated that all partners have received invitations to the upcoming INDIA alliance meeting in Mumbai. Congress as well as the AAP are attending the meeting. The alliance is solid and unbroken.
