Maha Cong leaders meet Raut in hospital

November 13, 2019 12:36

Maharashtra Congress leaders met Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut at Lilavati Hospital this morning. Raut was admitted at the hospital on November 11 after he complained of chest pain and had to undergo an angioplasty yesterday.

The ailing Shiv Sena leader today tweeted the word 'agneepath' three times, apparently to indicate the difficult path ahead for his party in its efforts to form government in Maharashtra with the Congress and NCP, its political rivals till recently.

Raut, who on Tuesday quoted poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan to reaffirm his party's resolve to succeed and not give up, on Wednesday tweeted: "Agneepath, agneepath, agneepath..."(path of fire), without elaborating.

As part of its government formation efforts, the Shiv Sena, which espouses the Hindutva ideology, is trying to find a common ground with the Congress and NCP, the parties against which it contested the last month's Assembly elections. On Tuesday, President's rule was imposed in Maharashtra after Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari in a report to the Centre stated that formation of a stable government was impossible in the current situation despite all his efforts.
