Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut takes on BJP, ED

From former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis to BJP’s former MP Kirit Somaiya and from Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials to a certain milkman named Narwar from Haryana who has seen meteoric rise in wealth during the previous BJP regime in the State, all found themselves under attack by Shiv Sena leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut who also claimed that ED officials have extorted over ₹300 crore from 70 builders in Mumbai through four extortionists of which will soon be exposed.

Slamming the central agencies, especially the ED, Mr. Raut reiterated how three BJP leaders met him asking help in destabilising the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. “The day I refused, ED raids started at my friends and relatives,” he said, claiming that similar plot is being hatched at Jharkhand and West Bengal.

He was speaking at what turned out to be one of the most awaited and anticipated press conferences in the recent times in Maharashtra. The Sena which has come under constant attack of corruption from the BJP chose to reply with a warning that the matter is far from being over.
