In a sharp political statement, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has expressed his displeasure with NCP chief Sharad Pawar for attending an event in Delhi where Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde was awarded and praised. Raut criticized Pawar for praising Shinde, stating, “I did not expect this from him.” He further added, “Those who throw googlies often end up as hit wickets themselves,” implying that Pawar’s actions were contradictory. Raut firmly stated that Pawar should not have attended the event and lauded Shinde, highlighting the tensions between the political figures. This remark has sparked a fresh round of controversy in Maharashtra’s political circles, as the rivalry between Shiv Sena and Shinde-led factions intensifies.
