Opposition is going to target entire Maharashtra cabinet: Sanjay Raut
The Hindu
The Opposition tried to corner CM Shinde last week over the regularisation of a disputed piece of land of the Nagpur Improvement Trust
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on December 27 said the Opposition would be cornering the entire Maharashtra cabinet over corruption and not just one or two ministers.
He feels sympathy for deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis who has to defend his "corrupt" colleagues, Mr. Raut said, speaking to reporters.
“The Opposition is not going to target only a couple of ministers in the Eknath Shinde-Fadnavis cabinet but the entire cabinet is going to be in trouble. I am sympathetic to Mr. Fadnavis because he has to defend those who are mired in corruption,” the Rajya Sabha MP said.
Earlier, Mr. Raut's comment that his party "would drop a couple of bomb-shells" during the ongoing winter session had gone viral.

But Mr. Fadnavis termed the allegations as "minor firecrackers".
