Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut criticized Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar faction) leader Chhagan Bhujbal for his statement that Sharad Pawar wanted to go with the Bharatiya Janata Party after making his daughter Supriya Sule the party's president, stated a report in ANI. 


In May this year, Sharad Pawar resigned from the post of NCP president but later withdrew his resignation. According to Chhagan Bhujbal, Pawar resigned to pave the way for Supriya Sule to become the party's president.



Per the report, Raut expressed his suspicion, stating that Chhagan Bhujbal and other NCP leaders aligned with the BJP out of fear of central investigation agencies.


"Why do you trust such people? They are cowards who joined the BJP due to fear of CBI and ED," Raut told reporters in Mumbai.

"Chhagan Bhujbal stabbed Sharad Pawar in the back and ran away. These are the biggest cowards. A film should be made about them, and it should be titled 'Coward Number One,'" Raut was quoted as saying. 

Raut alleged that Bhujbal was attempting to mislead the people of Maharashtra.

Previously, Ajit Pawar faction leader and Maharashtra minister Chhagan Bhujbal had claimed that it was decided at Sharad Pawar's house to join the BJP-led alliance under the leadership of Supriya Sule.

Sanjay Raut says PM Modi won't win 2024 Polls

Sanjay Raut also made a prediction, asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would not return to office in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

"The INDIA Alliance has been established, particularly for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and discussions related to the 2024 elections are taking place in alliance meetings. I can say with certainty that the BJP government will not come to power in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Modi ji will not be the Prime Minister in 2024, and the BJP government will not be at the centre," Raut had previously said. 

"Congress is a prominent party in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Telangana. Therefore, the Congress will decide whom to align with and whom not to align with," he added.

Raut retorts to Amit Shah's statement

Raut, reacting to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's statement that the Ayodhya temple was being constructed without bloodshed, said that the latter was lying because the Ram temple was built after the "sacrifice of hundreds of Karsevaks".
