Sanjay Raut had Made Allegations
A couple of days prior, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut claimed that Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde transported bags filled with cash to Nashik via helicopter. However, the Shiv Sena, led by Shinde, has refuted this allegation.
He quoted on X, “The moment the Chief Minister brought food! Night games in Nashik. Just rain… Why are the police carrying such heavy bags for a two-hour tour? Which goods reached Nashik? The Election Commission is conducting unnecessary blockades and searches. Official bag distribution begins in Maharashtra.”
