Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut claimed the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government was not based on a strong foundation and will collapse under its own contradictions.

"We will not give dates on loudspeaker like the BJP. But this government is surely not going to last for long," Raut told reporters. Even after nearly a month of the formation of the Shinde government, no ministerial portfolios have been allocated, the Sena's chief spokesperson noted. Last month, Eknath Shinde and 39 other Sena legislators revolted against the party leadership, which led to the fall of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government comprising the Sena, NCP and Congress.
