Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut (Image via Twitter)
In the video, Raut after being questioned by a journalist claimed that the three parties (Shiv-Sena, Congress, NCP) had plotted to join hands even before the poll results were declared.
He also claimed that the idea was first envisioned by Sharad Pawar and then Raut began visiting him and the Congress leaders to take this idea forward. He added that the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi is not a hastily planned alliance and that they had planned to build it.
He added that he has always stood up for Indira Gandhi. This statement is being considered by many as a damage control measure by Raut who had earlier revealed that the former prime minister used to meet the dreaded gangster Karim Lala in Mumbai.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
