Tax Raids On Shiv Sena Councillor Timed With Mumbai Civic Polls: Sanjay Raut

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said the I-T raids on Yashwant Yadav were conducted with an ulterior motive to malign the party.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday alleged that Income Tax raids on the premises of Sena corporator Yashwant Jadhav were conducted with an eye on the upcoming Mumbai civic elections.

Talking to reporters in Mumbai, Mr Raut said these raids were conducted with an ulterior motive to malign Shiv Sena.

"We are noting all these things. People are also watching. Let them do it and find what they are searching for," Mr Raut said.

It seems the central probe agencies are busy only in Maharashtra and West Bengal, which are ruled by non-BJP parties, he said.
