MUMBAI: Maharashtra Congress leaders expressed their displeasure over Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut s criticism of Rahul Gandhi and the party in Sena’s mouthpiece Saamana.
Earlier, Sanjay Raut had called the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) an NGO and demanded that NCP chief Sharad Pawar should be made chairman of UPA instead of Sonia Gandhi. Raut had also said that the UPA lacked influencing and dedicated leaders like Amit Shah and Narendra Modi.
Maharashtra Congress leader Ashok Chavan said that the Sena is a regional party and they had no alliance with Sena at the national level. “Our alliance with Shiv Sena is limited to Maharashtra therefore they should not comment and teach us what Congress should do or not do? We are capable of taking our own decisions,” Chavan said.
