Speaking about Thackeray, Raut said that his son is contesting elections, so you can understand his mental state. This leader did not allow PM Modi and HM Amit Shah to come to Maharashtra, but now he has started praising them, so he has created fear in his mind that it could be about his son’s future. But Maharashtra will have MVA as CM and Raj Thackeray knows this very well.
Raut further emphasized that Thackeray’s past criticisms of Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are in stark contrast to his current praise for them. “However, Maharashtra will continue to support Maha Vikas Aghadi and Raj Thackeray is fully aware of this,” the UBT leader said. Raut also accused BJP leaders of stealing his party’s identity and values. He said everyone knows how theft has happened again and again, and we are saying it again and again. Those who have stolen our stand, our party and our symbol – Amit Shah, Narendra Modi and Devendra Fadnavis – are part of a much bigger conspiracy. Now, Raj Thackeray is associating himself with them.
