Sena corporator taunts Raut on 'arrogance'

A banner, reading 'Your arrogance will last 4 days, but our kingship is inherited', seen outside the residence of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut in Mumbai. The banner has been put up by Shiv Sena Corporator Deepmala Badhe.

Two days before Eknath Shinde revolted, he had a heated argument with Aaditya Thackeray, state cabinet minister and son of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut at the Renaissance hotel in Powai where the Sena MLAs had been kept ahead of the Legislative Council elections.

Shinde, had been unhappy with the way things had been going the past few months and the Chief Minister too had been alerted about it.

Yesterday, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrakant Patil said problems have cropped up in the Sena only due to the "instigating statements of Sanjay Raut." "People won't tolerate it. Eknath Shinde's rebellion is an example. Sanjay Raut should speak politely. He doesn't need to speak harshly on every matter," Patil had said.

The Shiv Sena on Tuesday moved its MLAs to hotels to ward off poaching bids after senior party leader Eknath Shinde rebelled against the party and camped in Surat in Gujarat along with some fellow legislators.

Party MLAs have been housed at different hotels in Mumbai, a Shiv Sena MLA from the city said.

This has been done to avoid poaching of legislators, the MLA said.

The MLA, however, did not divulge the names of the hotels where the legislators have been housed.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut claimed 14 to 15 Sena MLAs, including some ministers, are with Shinde in Gujarat's Surat city. However, another party leader said the number could be 23.
