Sanjay Raut, a prominent leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), expressed skepticism about the BJP-led NDA’s ability to effectively govern, citing challenges in managing alliances with parties like JD(U) and TDP whose positions often diverge from the BJP’s agenda. Raut highlighted instances where BJP’s initiatives faced opposition from its allies, questioning the cohesion of the NDA.
He suggested that the alliance landscape is fluid, with parties like JD(U) and TDP potentially shifting alliances in the future. Raut’s remarks underscored the complexities of coalition politics and the need for BJP to navigate diverse interests within the NDA. Additionally, he took a swipe at BJP leaders, asserting that while the BJP aimed for a Congress-free India, the Sena aimed for a BJP majority-free scenario. Raut’s comments reflect the intricate dynamics within the political landscape, particularly in Maharashtra, where the Sena is a key player in the ruling coalition.
