Mumbai: Shiv Sena Uddhav Thackeray faction leader Sanjay Rawat has made serious allegations against Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s son. Rawat alleged that Eknath Shinde’s son Shrikant Shinde had hired a hired killer to kill him. Rawat wrote to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeking his intervention in the matter.
In the letter, Rawat alleged that many people’s representatives have been attacked in the state recently and such violence is increasing. Rawat said that after the change of government, the security was taken away. He said he had no complaint against such political decisions and hoped the government would take responsibility for the deteriorating law and order situation in Maharashtra.
The other day, Rawat had alleged that there was a conspiracy behind the decision to give the name Shiv Sena and the party’s election symbol, arrow and bow, to the Shinde faction. Rawat’s allegation was that there was a deal worth 2,000 crores to get hold of the party’s name and symbol.
Fadnavis’ response to Rawat’s allegation was that he did not know why such a letter was written. It is doubtful whether it is to get security or to create news. Every day they lie and try to gain sympathy. “It is wrong to make allegations without proof,” he said.
