Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut raised concerns about the source of income of a charity organization controlled by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's son, MP Shrikant Shinde, implying that funds could be misused for political objectives. However, the Shiv Sena, led by Shinde, denied these charges, emphasising the Foundation's developmental initiatives and financial support to the underprivileged.

Raut stated writing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and State Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis about the foundation, indicating a desire to include investigative authorities such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) or the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), reported PTI.
