Sanjay Raut also added that no one would be able to 'hijack' the party and there lies huge opportunity to expand the base of the Shiv Sena. The Sena spokesperson, who is also a Uddhav Thackeray loyalist, was speaking in response to a question on Eknath Shinde's revolt. Raut also added that no one can buy a party by paying money. "This is Balasaheb's Shiv Sena. Shiv Sena stands today because of the sacrifice of thousands of lakhs of Shiv Sainiks. The party is united and strong," he said.
Speaking about the rebel MLAs Raut said that these dissidents are presently outside Maharashtra and the party is not responsible for their safety. Taking about the former BJP Chief Minister in Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, he said, "Fadnavis should not fall into this mess, his reputation will be at stake." (With Agency inputs)
