ED targeting party leaders, Sena MP writes to RS Chairman
Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut, one of the architects of the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra, has written to Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu claiming he was approached to help topple the State government.
He said central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) are targeting Sena leaders, setting the stage for yet another round of confrontation between the party and the opposition BJP after a brief lull.
“About a month ago, I was approached by certain people and told to assist them in toppling the Maharashtra government. They wanted me to be instrumental in such endeavour so that the State could be forced into midterm election,” wrote Mr. Raut, adding that since he refused, he was warned about having to pay a heavy price for it.
