Shiv Sena today claimed that Maharashtra’s alliance leader, Sharad Powerle, was threatened by the federal minister. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah tolerated such threats by the minister and questioned Senna spokesman Sanjay Laut.
“He is the son of Maharashtra. They are threatening him. Modi Ji, Amit Shah, have you heard? Your minister is threatening Sharad Powerle-you are like that. Do you support the intimidation? After the rebellion that saw the majority of the party’s MLA support the rebel Eknath Shinde, few Shiv Sena leaders are still with Prime Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
Mr. Laut had previously tweeted the claim.
“The Federal Minister threatened that when Sharad Powerle tried to save Maha Bikas Agadi, he would not be allowed to go home and would be stopped on the road. If this is BJP’s action, you declare it. Whether it’s the government or not, Sharad Pawar’s words are unacceptable, “Shiv Sena MP tweeted.
Uddhav Thacke has surpassed the number of parties founded by his father Bal Thackeray in a rebellion that could disrupt the Maharashtra coalition, and rebel Enato Sinde has 40 from Shiv Sena. Claims to support MLA.
