Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday attacked Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar over the split in the Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party and accused them of "stealing parties".

The Shiv Sena split in June 2022 after a rebellion by Eknath Shinde, while the Nationalist Congress Party got divided after Ajit Pawar joined the state government along with eight MLAs in July last year.
