Shinde’s Illegal Govt Doing No Work For Floods In Maha: Sanjay Raut

Mumbai: Calling Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s government illegal, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said they are not doing anything for the flood-like situation in the state.

“Twelve days have passed and the Maharashtra government is not doing any work. This government is illegal. Where is the Governor of Maharashtra for 12 days when the state is suffering from flood-like situations?” Raut said.

After incessant rains, a flood-like situation has arisen in many parts of Maharashtra.

Raut, a loyalist of Shinde’s predecessor Uddhav Thackeray, has been vocal against the current state government, which was formed last month after some Shiv Sena MLAs revolted against the Thackeray government.

The political turmoil deepened at a time when members of both houses of Parliament and assemblies of states and union territories are to elect a new Indian President. Droupadi Murmu has been fielded by the NDA, while Yashwant Sinha is the candidate of the opposition parties.

Explaining the intention behind the party’s support for the BJP-led NDA candidate, Raut said, “Shiv Sena’s support to Murmu is not political. We have earlier supported Pratibha Patil Ji and Pranab Mukherjee ji also.”

“It is for the first time that an Adivasi lady is likely to be at the highest position. This is our respect for the Adivasis that Uddhav Ji decided to vote for Droupadi as it is our culture to always support the deserving” he added.

The voting for the presidential election will take place on July 18 and the counting of votes will take place on July 21.

NDA presidential candidate is also backed by the support of the YSR Congress Party, Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Akali Dal. She has been touring various states to seek the support of legislators.
