Even Mughals would not have said what Sanjay Raut said about Chhatrapati's Descendants: Devendra Fadnavis

After the Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut made a statement about the descendants of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, former CM Devendra Fadnavis asked the Shiv Sena leader to submit a public apology to the family of the Chhatrapati or he will not be forgiven by the citizens of Maharastra.

Mumbai: Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday that said the kind of statements Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has made about the descendants of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is something that even the Mughals would not have thought of.

"The kind of statements Sanjay Raut has made against Udayanraje Bhonsale and the descendants of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is something that would not have been done even by the descendants of Mughals if they were alive," Fadnavis told a news agency. "I think that the ego of power is not right. The statement which he made, he must take back. He should submit a public apology to the family of Chhatrapati else Maharashtra will never forgive him," he added.

Raut had earlier asked BJP leader Udayanraje Bhonsale to provide proof of being a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
