A day after Shiv Sena leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut wrote to Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu alleging intimidation by Central investigation agencies on behalf of BJP leaders, the party’s State unit has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. It demands action in the issue of attack on former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya in Pune, asking if the State is run by mafia gangs.
“Mr. Somaiya has Z grade security and police were supposed to have inspected the premise of the Pune municipal corporation before his visit. Despite that, a mob with sticks and stones was ready to attack him. This is a serious matter and the BJP will not let this issue go silent. Is Maharashtra run by mafia gangs?” asked State unit chief Chandrakant Patil.
Mr. Patil said that the party has written to Mr. Shah and senior official concerned with security of VIPs.
