By Quaid Najmi Mumbai, Dec 28 : Stung by a united show put up by the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies, the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party struck back with full force as many of its leaders slammed the ruling Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress alliance.
State BJP President Chandrakant Patil said the Constitution framed by Dr BR Ambedkar is not acceptable to Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, whose wife Varsha has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday regarding a probe.
“The central agencies are independent and the manner in which he (Raut) is linking it with the BJP is not appropriate,” said Patil.
Defending the ED, Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis countered that the central agency was misused most during the Congress rule at the Centre and not under this (BJP) government.
“Now, the probe agencies act only if there is a complaint or sufficient evidence against any person. I repeat — if you are not guilty, then why are you scared?” Fadnavis shot back after Raut’s outburst this afternoon.
Ex Minister Ashish Shelar took a swipe at Raut, saying “just one notice has rattled him so much, but if there’s no wrong committed, they should not worry”.
