Maharashtra Turmoil: Sanjay Raut alleges Union Minister of threatening NCP chief Sharad Pawar

Mumbai: Amid the ongoing political crisis in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Friday alleged that Union Minister is threatening Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar.

"Threats are being given to Sharad Pawar ji by a Central minister. Do such threats have the support of Modi Ji and Amit Shah Ji?" said Raut.

The Shiv Sena leader further said that this is a matter of concern and the Home Minister and PM Modi should pay attention to this.

"Some people are threatening us. Some people are threatening Pawar Sahib not to go home. This is a matter of concern. Home Minister and PM Modi should pay attention to this," he added.

Raut's statement came after Union minister and BJP leader Narayan Rane posted a series of tweets last evening alleging that Pawar was threatening rebel Shiv Sena MLAs and if anything happened to them in the state Assembly, there will be consequences.

"Sharad Pawar is threatening the (rebel) MLAs that they should come to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. They will definitely come and vote as per their will. If any harm comes to them, it will be difficult to go home," Rane tweeted in Marathi.

Earlier in a tweet, Raut has said that the use of such language against the NCP chief is not acceptable. (With ANI inputs)
