Girish Mahajan claims Uddhav faces no political threat with Sanjay Raut ... Mumbai, Jun 3 – In a heated exchange, senior BJP minister Girish Mahajan has launched a strong criticism against Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, labeling him a “broker” and a political adversary of Uddhav Thackeray. This confrontation follows Raut’s recent comments suggesting that Mahajan would be among the first to abandon the BJP if it were to lose power. Mahajan, who oversees the water resources portfolio in Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s cabinet, responded to Raut’s accusations by asserting that Uddhav Thackeray does not require external enemies to undermine his party, as Raut himself is sufficient for that task.

Mahajan warned that if Thackeray does not manage Raut effectively, the Shiv Sena (UBT) could face collapse. The backdrop of this political strife is the split withi…
