Agneepath! Raut charts 'path of fire' for Sena

November 13, 2019 10:17

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut who has been admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on Monday after he complained of chest pain, has been getting poetic.

An hour or so ago, Raut, tweeted three words from Harivansh Rai Bachchan's famous poem, Agneepath or Path of Fire, without elaborating, probably in reference to the impasse in the government formation in Maharashtra.

We would like to believe Raut choose this stanza of the poem in reference to the troubles that lay ahead for the party.

Tu na thakega kabhi,

Tu na thamega kabhi,

Tu na mudega kabhi,

Kar shapath! Kar shapath! Kar shapath!

Agneepath! Agneepath! Agneepath!

On November 12, he also quoted lines from Harivansh Rai Bachchan to reaffirm his party's resolve to succeed and not give up. Raut, who on November 11 underwent angioplasty at the Lilavati hospital, tweeted two lines from Bachchan's famous poem: "Lehron se dar kar nauka paar nahi hoti, himmat karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti (the boat that qualms the waves never gets across, those who dare do not lose)."

The Rajya Sabha member further tweeted, "Hum honge kamyaab, zaroor honge (we would succeed, definitely).

Yesterday, party colleague Uddhav Thackeray, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Supriya Sule among political leaders visited him. BJP leaders Harshvardhan Patil and Ashish Shelar also met Raut at hospital and said it was a courtesy visit with "no political angle".
