Raut responds to Amit Shah’s accusation

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday responded to Union Minister Amit Shah’s attack on Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray about promises made in a ‘closed room’, saying that the same closed room has benefited the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well.

“In the same ‘closed room’ that Amit Shah is talking about, Balasaheb ji gave his blessings to the BJP and many senior leaders for Hindutva… PM Modi and Amit Shah have benefitted. Everyone knows this,” Raut told. “Why should we (Shiv Sena) lie about anything? For power? Shiv Sena was not born for power,” he said, adding that for them, it was a temple, not a ‘closed room’.

This comes a day after Amit Shah’s address in Maharashtra’s Sindhudurg district, where he had said, “Some people here say that we made promises in a closed room. It’s not true. Let’s assume the promise was made. All the candidates of Shiv Sena campaigned with 2.5 times bigger image of Modi Ji on banners and you asked for votes in his name.”
