BJP Minister Mahajan attacks Sanjay Raut over Shiv Sena (UBT) crisis

Maharashtra BJP Minister Girish Mahajan has attacked Sanjay Raut, claiming his proximity to Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray is damaging the party. Mahajan alleged that Raut's continued public statements are responsible for internal strife within the faction.

Mahajan stated he had repeatedly warned Thackeray that keeping Raut close was detrimental to the party's unity. The minister suggested that departures from Shiv Sena (UBT) and internal splits were linked to Raut's role in the organisation.
