Raut’s comments came a day after Home Minister Amit Shah’s Nanded rally in which he took aim at Uddhav for events following the 2019 Maharashtra assembly election and blamed him for the alliance’s breakdown. undivided Shiv Sena of the BJP.

Shah called Uddhav’s decision to join the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to form the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the state a betrayal of power. Raut said in a social media post: “It is good that the BJP is afraid of Uddhav Thackeray. He secured a split in the party (Shiv Sena), gave his name and symbol to the traitors; The fear of Uddhav Thackeray and Shiv Sena (real) is not gone yet.”
