Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday claimed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was "scared" of his party chief Uddhav Thackeray and said it was a good thing, reported news agency PTI.

The comments came a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah in a rally in Nanded tore into Thackeray over the chain of events post the 2019 Assembly polls which led to the unravelling of the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance.
