Highlighting the ongoing flood-like situation in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena party leader Sanjay Rau

Highlighting the ongoing flood-like situation in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena party leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday slammed the “illegal” Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government.
“Twelve days have passed and the Maharashtra government is not doing any work. This government is illegal. Where is the Governor of Maharashtra for 12 days when the state is suffering from flood-like situations?” Raut said.
Following the incessant rains, several parts of Maharashtra are staring at a flood-like situation. Raut, a loyalist of Shinde’s predecessor Uddhav Thackeray, has been vocal against the current state government, which was formed after some Shiv Sena MLAs rebelled against the Thackeray government last month.
The political turmoil deepened at a time when members of both the houses of parliament and of the legislative assemblies of states and union territories are to elect a new Indian president. While Droupadi Murmu is the candidate fielded by the NDA, Yashwant Sinha is the opposition parties’ candidate.
“Shiv Sena’s support to Murmu is not political. We have earlier supported Pratibha Patil ji and Pranab Mukherjee ji as well,” Raut said while clarifying the intent behind the party’s support for the BJP-led NDA candidate.
