Sanjay Raut calls Fadnavis "Joker of Politics" over graft allegations
Mumbai Aug 17 ( UNI) Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) MP Sanjay Raut today launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, alleging that while Fadnavis has handed over prime plots in Mumbai, including Dharavi, to industrialist Gautam Adani, he ironically accuses Shiv Sena of corruption in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). "After U.S. President Donald Trump, Fadnavis is the joker of politics," Raut remarked. Fadnavis, while attending the Parivartan Dahi Handi event at Mumbai's Jamboree Maidan, has said that change in the upcoming municipal elections is inevitable, claiming that corruption under Shiv Sena's long rule in the BMC will be exposed and development will prevail. Responding to this, Raut countered that during Shiv Sena's tenure, deposits worth Rs 90,000 crore were safely placed in banks. He alleged that corruption occurred under the BJ-led government, with leaders from Fadnavis's side "misappropriating" these funds. "Those indulging in corruption are within your cabinet. Don't shield the thieves, crooks, and looters around you. Otherwise, Maharashtra will not forgive you," Raut warned Fadnavis. He further alleged that while the state treasury is empty and no clarity exists on who has been awarded which projects, commission worth 25% from contracts totalling ₹2 lakh crore has reached people close to Fadnavis.
