BJP and Shiv Sena working to drive Ajit Pawar-led NCP out of Mahayuti, says Sanjay Raut

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut claims BJP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena are trying to oust Ajit Pawar-led NCP from the Mahayuti alliance ahead of assembly elections. However, BJP and NCP leaders refute these claims, accusing the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi of spreading rumors due to insecurity about their electoral prospects.
