On Tuesday, he expressed his mood by tweeting a verse by renowned Hindi poet Sohanlal Dwivedi – “Lahron se dar kar, Nauka paar nahin hoti; Koshish karne walonki, Haar nahin hoti. Hum honge kaamyab Zaroor honge”. (Those who fear the waves will never cross the waters; Those who keep trying, will succeed. We will definitely succeed). This morning, several Congress leaders by state chief Balasaheb Thorat and others called on Raut in the hospital and enquired after his health.
NCP President Sharad Pawar and MP Supriya Sule, Sena President Uddhav Thackeray and later senior leader Eknath Shinde had also visited Raut, besides Bharatiya Janata Party former minister Ashish Shelar and other leaders from various parties.
