Sanjay Raut 'MPs Offered Rs.15 Cr Each to Switch Sides'

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday alleged that party MPs in Maharashtra are being offered up to Rs 15 crore each to switch sides and join the Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led faction. 

"Apna Sapna Money Money! It's shocking and revolting that Maharashtra MPs are reportedly being offered ?15 crore each tonight to switch sides," Raut wrote on X.

His remarks



came amid speculation of possible unrest within the Shiv Sena (UBT) ranks and reports that some MPs could break away from the party.

Earlier in the day, Raut dismissed reports suggesting that five MPs from his party were likely to form a separate faction. 

He said the MPs had attended a meeting called by party chief Uddhav Thackeray and expressed faith in his leadership.
