Responding to Shinde's tweet, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said, "You are an MLA, so security has been provided to you. Your family members can't be provided with the same."
State Home Minister denied the allegations and said, "Neither the Chief Minister nor the Home Department has ordered the withdrawal of security of any MLA. The allegations being levelled through Twitter are false and completely baseless."
