Aaditya Thackeray's close associate, UBT leader Suraj Chavan was arrested by ED. After that, a raid was conducted at Shiv Sena leader Rajan Salvi's house. Now Sanjay Raut has reacted in all these cases. Sanjay Raut has alleged that Suraj Chavan's arrest is political. Sanjay Raut also alleged that there was an ambulance scam of INR 8 thousand crores.


What did Sanjay Raut say?
If you don't join the Shinde group, you are being threatened that action will be taken against you through agencies. MP Sanjay Raut has alleged that threats are being given to Suraj Chavan, Ravindra Waikar, Rajan Salvi. Also, the second day after the public court we held two days ago and the impact it had, Suraj Chavan was arrested. Sanjay Raut also alleged that Suraj Chavan's arrest is a political arrest.


The time of Corona was to help each other
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has performed extremely well during the Corona period. It was a time to help each other, to work hard and risk your life. During that time, Shiv Sena and other social organisations ran Covid centres. Still, efforts are being made to create false cases, collect evidence and defamation. Suraj Chavan has been arrested, operations are going on. We will deal with those actions. 138 people were given the task of distributing khichdi during the Covid period. Sanjay Raut also said that the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) and ED should bring forward how many of them have been investigated.

There are 38 companies that raked in crores without distributing khichdi
There are at least 38 companies which did not distribute khichdi but collected crores of bills from the civic body. Sanjay Raut also made a serious allegation that all these are in Shinde group or BJP today. The leaders of those who looted crores of rupees are in the Shinde group. They have not been investigated. The colleagues who worked with him in the Suraj Chavan case are in the Shinde group. They have not been arrested. Sanjay Raut also alleged that four such people were working with Suraj Chavan but were let go because they belonged to the Shinde group. The scam money has gone to the same. Sanjay Raut also alleged that an ambulance scam of 8 thousand crores has been committed.


What is the real issue?

It has been claimed by the ED that there has been a large-scale financial misappropriation in this regard by reducing the quality and quantity of khichdi to be distributed during the Corona period. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde himself had mentioned this issue during his speech in the Legislative Assembly and targeted the Thackeray group. Therefore, this matter was discussed. ED suspects Suraj Chavan's involvement in this scam and accordingly arrest action has been taken. Suraj Chavan is a close relative of Aaditya Thackeray and his arrest is considered a big blow for the latter.
