Sanjay Raut Claims Raj Thackeray is Sweet-Talking BJP Out of Concern for Son’s Election Bid |

Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Sanjay Raut on Thursday said MNS president Raj Thackeray was praising the ruling BJP as he is worried about his son Amit Thackeray.
Amit Thackeray is making his electoral debut as an MNS candidate from Mahim in the Nov 20 assembly elections.
On Wednesday, Raj Thackeray said the MNS and BJP would come together after the polls, and the next chief minister will be from the BJP.
“One can understand the frame of mind of a person whose son is contesting an election. Someone who once said the BJP should be driven out of Maharashtra and Amit Shah and Narendra Modi should not be allowed to enter the state is now singing praises of the BJP,” Raut told reporters here.
“Raj Thackeray knows that Maharashtra will have the chief minister from the Maha Vikas Aghadi,” Raut added.
Raj had campaigned against the BJP during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Later, he changed his stand.
While the BJP has declared support to Amit Thackeray, the contest is triangular, involving the BJP ally Shiv Sena’s Sadanand Sarvankar and opposition Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Mahesh Sawant. PTI
