Raj Thackeray is praising BJP as he is worried about son: Sanjay Raut


PTI, Oct 31, 2024, 3:57 PM IST

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday said Maharashtra Navnirman Sena president Raj Thackeray is praising the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party as he is worried about his son Amit Thackeray.

Amit Thackeray is making his electoral debut as MNS candidate from Mahim in Mumbai in the November 20 Maharashtra assembly elections.

On Wednesday, Raj Thackeray said the MNS and BJP would come together after the polls, and the next chief minister will be from the BJP.

“One can understand the frame of mind of a person whose son is contesting an election. Someone who once said the BJP should be driven out of Maharashtra and Amit Shah and Narendra Modi should not be allowed to enter the state is now singing praises of the BJP,” Raut told reporters here.

“Raj Thackeray knows that Maharashtra will have the chief minister from the (Opposition’s) Maha Vikas Aghadi,” Raut added.

Notably, Raj had campaigned against the BJP during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Later, he changed his stand.

While the BJP has declared support to Amit Thackeray, the contest is triangular, involving the BJP ally Shiv Sena’s Sadanand Sarvankar and opposition Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Mahesh Sawant.

Sarvankar has said he will stay in the fray. The last day for withdrawal is November 4.
