The Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government is running the state like the notorious Mumbai underworld of yesteryears, senior Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has alleged.

Talking to reporters, Sanjay Raut, a close associate of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray alleged that criminals and the corrupt are being protected and shielded by the government.

Raut also claimed that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis are “running their gangs” like how the underworld used to operate from pockets of Thane and Mumbai during those infamous years.

Sanjay Raut claimed the current Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis dispensation is not a government but operates much like how the Mumbai underworld used to back in the day.

On Supreme Court junking the plea by 14 political parties that claimed “misuse” of central agencies against political opponents, Raut said the way BJP is celebrating the apex court’s order shows how ecstatic the saffron party is over the ruling.

Raut while claiming that the ED (Enforcement Directorate) and CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) are being “misused” against political opponents, asked why there’s been no action taken against those who have been “cleansed in the BJP washing machine”—a popular reference by BJP’s opponents who claim that politicians who join the saffron party are often absolved or get a reprieve from probe agencies.

In related news, a man was arrested by the Mumbai Police last week for issuing death threats to Sanjay Raut and threatened to kill the politician like Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, who was shot dead last year.

The accused, identified as Rahul Talekar, was apprehended by the Pune and Mumbai Police from the Kharadi area, hours after Raut and his brother MLA Sunil Raut filed a threat complaint at the Kanjurmarg Police Station.

During the interrogation, Talekar, who has no criminal records, claimed that he sent threatening messages while he was inebriated.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the suspect may have issued the threat under the influence of alcohol and assured people that strict action will be taken against him.

The unfortunate incident, which occurred during Allu Arjun’s visit to the theatre for a Pushpa 2 premiere, claimed the life of the boy’s 35-year-old mother. Allu Arjun is now facing charges in the case, and was questioned by police on Tuesday regarding his involvement.

He further mentioned that they will give this money through Telangana Film Development Corporation Chairman Dil Raju.

When questioned if he had visited the boy’s family, Aravind explained that he cannot interact with the family due to the legal problems. With the police permission, once, 10 days back, he visited him. He was then recovering, he continued.

Meanwhile, producer and Telangana Film Development Corporation (FDC) chairman Dil Raju also addressed the media, stating that there is a meeting planned tomorrow with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, and they have taken an appointment.

He added that while the boy’s condition has improved, full recovery will take time, according to doctors.

He further shared that he received a Rs 10 lakh cheque from Pushpa star Allu Arjun, along with additional assistance from the film’s production team and Telangana Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy.

Speaking about his willingness to withdraw the complaint, he clarified that he received support from Allu Arjun’s team the day after the incident and emphasized that there was no pressure on him to drop the case.
