Sena’s Raut tells Cong to learn its lesson and clarify whether it wants to contest alone or in alliance with Maharashtra

Reacting to the nonaccomplishment of Congress successful Haryana Assembly polls, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut connected Wednesday said the Congress has mislaid an casual conflict and insisted connected declaring the CM look earlier the polls successful Maharashtra. Raut said the Congress should larn a acquisition from the Haryana polls and state the campaigner for the CM post. Raut besides advised Congress that nary 1 successful the confederation should deliberation of themselves arsenic large oregon tiny brothers.

“The decision successful Haryana is unfortunate. INDIA confederation should person fought arsenic a agreed beforehand successful Haryana. Maybe that mode determination would person been a antithetic result. Had Congress formed an confederation with Samajwadi Party, Aam Aadmi Party, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP (SP) and contested the election, past INDIA would decidedly person won. Congress’s pridefulness made them suffer the Haryana elections. The 3 parties of the Maha Vikas Aghadi should present jointly state the look for the station of Chief Minister. Congress thought they would triumph this predetermination unilaterally and they don’t request anyone.

Many exit polls were saying the same. I person not met a azygous idiosyncratic oregon writer who said that BJP volition triumph successful Haryana. However, it is unfortunate that Congress has to witnesser this defeat. Many things tin beryllium learned from this. BJP has won the mislaid game. So nary 1 should deliberation of himself arsenic an elder member oregon a younger brother. It should besides beryllium noted that the occurrence successful the Lok Sabha was the occurrence of the INDIA alliance,” Raut said.

He besides asked Congress to clarify its basal whether it wants to contention the polls unsocial oregon successful confederation and took a jibe saying Congress has a endowment of losing the conflict which they person already won. “If Congress wants to combat connected its ain successful the country, it should instrumentality a nationalist stand. If they instrumentality that stand, different parties volition besides instrumentality their stand,” helium said.

Maharashtra Congress main Nana Patole reacted powerfully to Raut’s jibe. “We are not bothered astir what Sanjay Raut says arsenic the concern successful Maharashtra and Haryana is different. If idiosyncratic does not recognize that, past that’s a antithetic happening altogether.

We volition speech to Raut successful our meetings and volition question reply astir his statements. I tin lone suggest him that our coordination should nonstop a affirmative connection successful Maharashtra,” said Nana Patole, expressing unhappiness implicit Raut’s nationalist outburst.

“In states wherever Congress is weak, it fights elections by forming alliances with different determination parties and successful states wherever Congress feels that it is strong, it keeps different parties away. Hence the results similar successful Haryana. Had INDIA faced the Haryana elections arsenic a agreed front, the results would person been different. INDIA Alliance would person got majority. Congress mislaid 9 seats. This is not a immense difference. Of course, we are not disappointed with this result. But, Congress has to instrumentality a stand. Elections are going connected successful galore states. If Congress wants to combat determination connected its own, it should instrumentality specified a stand. Then different determination parties successful that authorities volition instrumentality their stand,” Raut said.

He, however, said the Haryana results would not impact Maharashtra. “The results of the Haryana Assembly elections volition not person immoderate interaction connected Maharashtra due to the fact that determination are vigilant leaders similar Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray,” helium said.

On spot sharing, Raut said, “Seat sharing successful Maharashtra has astir been finalised, but request to larn a acquisition from what happened successful Haryana and it should not beryllium repeated successful the state. It volition person to beryllium corrected successful Maharashtra. Without the enactment of determination parties, nary enactment tin regularisation the country. Be it Congress oregon BJP. Today, the Modi authorities is moving with the enactment of determination parties. Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s authorities was besides formed with the enactment of determination parties. Manmohan Singh’s authorities was besides formed with the enactment of determination parties. Regional parties are needed and volition stay so.”

While Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena has been vocal, station the Haryana Assembly elections, Sharad Pawar-led NCP has chosen not to onslaught the Congress. “There is nary question of quality of sentiment (on a CM face). We are a squad player. Whatever our confederation partners decide, we volition hold to it. The astir important happening is for the MVA authorities to travel successful powerfulness and thing else,” said NCP (SP) MP Supriya Sule.
