Reacting to the attack on Jitendra Awhad’s car, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut questioned the law and order situation in Maharashtra.

“One MLA is from the ruling party and the other MLA is Jitendra Awhad, who is from the opposition. Both were attacked. Where is the law and order in this state? Maharashtra is a big state and was known for its law and order,” Raut said.

He further asserted that during Uddhav Thackeray’s regime, the law and order situation in the state was fine.

“There was leadership in Maharashtra. Politics is being done here forcefully, and the control is from Delhi and Gujarat. Because of this, we are paying the price,” he added.
