Sanjay Raut Criticizes NCP Leadership Amid Internal Party Tensions in Maharashtra
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut criticized the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), accusing it of betraying its Marathi roots by aligning with Gujarati business interests. Raut's remarks sparked a political dispute, with NCP State Vice President Udaykumar Aher defending the party's legacy and countering that Shiv Sena had compromised its own principles. The exchange occurs amid internal tensions within the NCP and reports of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's involvement to address party issues following Ajit Pawar's death.
