Mumbai: Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut on Thursday indicated that his party can leave the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance to fulfill the wishes of rebel MLAs.
Addressing a press conference, Raut said that if rebel MLAs want Shiv Sena to leave the alliance, then they must come to Mumbai and present their case before Sena chief (Uddhav Thackeray). Certainly, we will think over it, he said.
He also said that they should do not communicate from Guwahati over social media.
The Sena MP further claimed that the party is still strong and that the rebels are not true "bhakts" (follower) of Bal Thackeray.
Taking a dig at Eknath Shinde, Raut said, "We are with Balasaheb Thackeray work under Uddhav Thackeray, I support Balasaheb Thackeray and I follow Balasaheb Thackeray this type of statement won't prove you that you are real follower of Balasaheb. They have fear of ED."
"I won't talk about any camp, I will talk about my party. Our party is strong even to this day...About 20 MLAs are in touch with us...when they come to Mumbai, you will get to know...will soon be revealed, in what circumstances, pressure these MLAs left us," said Raut. (UNI)
