Sanjay Raut sinking UBT’s ship further, claims Maha BJP spokesperson Ban

Mumbai, June 13 (UNI) Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party chief spokesperson, Navnath Ban, today launched a verbal attack on Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, claiming that Raut has caused the biggest damage to the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) faction and is responsible for weakening the party from within.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP state office here, he alleged that Raut has effectively taken a “contract” from Congress to finish off the UBT faction. He said that although Raut publicly praises Aaditya Thackeray, his actions suggest otherwise, and that the party’s decline will continue unless he is sidelined.
Ban also criticized Uddhav Thackeray’s leadership style, noting that political parties cannot be run through occasional weekend meetings. He remarked that while most people work during the week and rest on weekends, Uddhav Thackeray does the opposite by remaining inactive for most of the week and meeting party workers only on Sundays.
