Shiv Sena will soon leave ‘wait & watch mode’: Sanjay Raut

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Shiv Sena on Saturday launched an attack on its ally BJP with whom it is engaged in a power-sharing tussle over Maharashtra government formation and said it will soon drop its “wait and watch mode” after BJP minister Sudhir Mungantiwar’s “threat” that president’s rule may be imposed if a new state government is not in place by November 7.

“If there is a delay in forming the government in a state and a minister from the ruling party has said that President’s rule will be imposed in Maharashtra if the government is not formed, is this a threat to those MLAs who have been elected?” Raut said during a press conference here.

 “A minister is repeatedly threatening to impose president’s rule. It is being used to intimidate new MLAs in order to garner their support. If anybody tries to misuse President or Governor’s house like this it is a threat to democracy,” the Sena leader said.

“Shiv Sena will soon leave the role of wait and watch,” the Sena leader said. “After you failed in all methods, you (BJP) now started threatening to impose the President’s rule. If anybody tries to come to power by threatening to impose President Rule then the people of Maharashtra will not give importance to this threat,” he added.
