Sanjay Raut draws sharp criticism from Shiv Sena amid political maneuvering

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut's recent social‑media post targeting NDA leaders has sparked backlash within his own party. BJP MP Manan Mishra suggested Raut may eventually switch allegiance to Deputy CM Eknath Shinde's faction.

Shiv Sena spokesperson Shaina NC accused Raut of fabricating false narratives, especially around the Ram temple donation controversy. She noted that a Special Investigation Team is probing the matter and warned Raut against politicising the issue. The remarks also touched on broader party concerns, including recent defections and internal criticism of rival politicians.

Both reports indicate a growing internal rift in Shiv Sena (UBT) as the party navigates its relationship with the NDA and regional power dynamics in Maharashtra.
