Expelled Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam on Monday claimed that Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut is the ‘real kingpin’ of ‘Khichdi’ scam, this amid the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issuing summons to Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate from Mumbai North West Amol Kirtikar.

Kirtikar has been summoned in connection with a money laundering probe into  alleged irregularities in distribution of khichdi during the Covid-19 pandemic.
