After the untimely demise of Ajit Pawar, which caused a stir in Maharashtra politics, the political atmosphere in the state has heated up even more. After his death, many claims and counterclaims have started, and discussions about the two Nationalist Congress Parties coming together again have gained momentum. Amidst all these developments, Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) MP Sanjay Raut has made a very serious and aggressive allegation and a big claim. While speaking to the media, Sanjay Raut said that Ajit Pawar was openly commenting on the corruption within the BJP. Specifically, Ajit Pawar had complete information on how the BJP committed corruption in the dog sterilization case in the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. Due to being the state's finance minister for many years, Ajit Pawar had kept important documents related to the BJP's financial misconduct with himself, claimed Raut.
Sanjay Raut also criticized the BJP for not allowing Rahul Gandhi to speak in the Lok Sabha. “It is the BJP's method to suppress the voices of those who question power,” he said. Against this backdrop, Raut also alleged that Ajit Pawar's death was not just an accident but suspicious. “The mystery of Dada's accident should come before the public. An impartial investigation must be conducted,” he firmly demanded. Referring to Ajit Pawar's old statements, Sanjay Raut said, “Dada had said – I am ready to return.” If Ajit Pawar had separated from the BJP and returned to Sharad Pawar, it would have been a major blow to the BJP's 'Operation Lotus', he claimed. “Today the situation is such that whoever goes against the BJP either ends up in jail or their life is in danger,” Raut made this sensational statement.
Criticizing the BJP further, Raut said, “This party is no longer Ajit Pawar's. Vultures have descended upon that party. It is no longer a Marathi party.” Accusing Praful Patel of being in a hurry to become the party president, he mentioned that photos of Amit Shah and Praful Patel in Parliament had gone viral, which fueled suspicion. At this time, Sanjay Raut also mentioned Nawab Malik, accusing the BJP and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde of “flattering” the corporators with Malik. He also made a suggestive statement about Savarkar Sadan, targeting the BJP. After Ajit Pawar's demise, Maharashtra is still in shock, and the demand for an impartial inquiry to bring out the truth of this entire matter is gaining momentum day by day.
