After meeting Devendra Fadnavis, Sanjay Raut said, "They are not our enemy, we have worked with them."

After a meeting between former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday, there has been renewed heat in Maharashtra's political circles and their meeting is being discussed.  On the other hand, Sanjay Raut has reacted to his meeting with Fadnavis.  He says this was a pre-arranged visit.  He met Fadnavis with the Shiv Sena spokesperson Saamna.  He then said that Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister, in which he is the leader of Uddhav Thackeray.  He is also our leader.

Reacting to the meeting with Devendra Fadnavis, Sanjay Raut said, "Fadnavis is not our enemy, we have worked with him.  I met him face to face.  Uddhav Thackeray is aware of this visit.  There are gaps in our ideology, but we are not enemies of each other.  On the Akali Dal's split from the NDA, Sanjay Raut said it was a big shock for the BJP.  He said that without Shiv Sena and Akali Dal, NDA is incomplete.  Both of these were his strong pillars.

Sanjay Raut said that Shiv Sena had to leave the NDA without letting go.  Now the Akali Dal did the same.  The NDA has now found new allies.  I wish them the best of luck.  The alliance which does not have Shiv Sena and Akali Dal, I do not consider it NDA.  Sanjay Raut met Fadnavis at a hotel.  Raut came under fire for his anti-BJP stance on power-sharing after the assembly elections last year.

Maharashtra BJP chief spokesperson Keshav Upadhyay said the visit had no political significance.  The Shiv Sena and the BJP had contested the last assembly elections together, but after the elections, the Uddhav Thackeray-led party withdrew from the BJP and formed a government in Maharashtra with the NCP and the Congress.
