Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday levelled serious corruption charges against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders saying he has evidence and demanded that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe them. Raut also alleged a Rs 25,000-crore scam in the previous BJP government and accused the party leaders of laundering corruption money through a milk vendor in Haryana, who has phenomenal growth in his assets. He also demanded that BJP’s Kirit Somaiya and his son Neil be arrested in the Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank scam.

Raut addressed a media conference at Shiv Sena Bhavan on Tuesday. He had promised to expose ‘three and a half’ leaders from the BJP, but directly or indirectly named at least five and promised to reveal more from Wednesday. He said he will hand over documents related to the allegations to the ED and the Economic Offences Wing (EOW). He added that Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has assured a probe in the matters. In a show of strength, hundreds of Sena workers gathered at the party headquarters. Senior leaders, MPs and MLAs shared the dais with Raut.
