While launching a sharp attack on Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena faction, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday alleged that the resentment within their camp has been exposed after opposition to a Maratha morcha in South Mumbai.
While posting on social media platform X, the Shiv Sena (UBT) MP said that it was “patronised by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.” He further added that “Shiv Sena has revealed its real face by attempting to suppress the voice of Marathi-speaking people demanding their rightful dues."
The Shiv Sena (UBT) MP further stated that “The true face of the Shinde faction, nurtured under Amit Shah’s patronage, has now been exposed. Their discomfort with Maratha people coming together in Mumbai for their legitimate demands is clear.”
