Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has strongly criticised Maharashtra’s Home Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, over the deteriorating law and order in the state, following an alleged attack on former minister Anil Deshmukh.

Speaking to the media, Raut accused Fadnavis of failing to uphold safety and security in Maharashtra. "The law and order situation in Maharashtra has completely collapsed. Such violence was never seen during elections in the state. Devendra Fadnavis is currently the Home Minister, and a conspiracy to murder the former Home Minister has unfolded in his jurisdiction. Who is responsible for this? Firstly, the Election Commission must answer," Raut stated, according to ANI reports.
