MUMBAI: Chief minister Uddhav Thackeray will speak at the ‘right time’ on the allegations against his government, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said on Wednesday. Calling governor BS Koshyari a ‘BJP family member’, he said, “So, opposition leader Devendra Fadnavis and other leaders meeting with the governor was like a family gathering.”
Speaking on Fadnavis’s allegations that Thackeray chose not to act on a report on the alleged police transfers racket, Raut told TOI: “The CM will speak at the right time…they (BJP) do not have any atom bomb, rather a damp firecracker which does not even have a wick…”
On the Fadnavis-Koshyari meet, he said, “They all are official BJP workers. Some are in the state administration and some in Raj Bhavan. So, it was like a family gathering… The government is run by the CM, and not the governor. If they (BJP members) had met the CM and submitted documents, it would have helped to have a good dialogue between the two…Till Wednesday, Koshyari was a RSS pracharak, the chief minister of a BJP-ruled state, and held a Union minister’s post as a BJP member. So, is it an insult to call him a BJP worker?”
