“What does it mean if you are indulging in mockery by breaking and purchasing Shiv Sena? Shiv Sena will not end. It is ember, it is fire, it won’t extinguish,” he added.
This comes a day after Raut claimed that transactions worth Rs 2000 crore took place to get the Shiv Sena party name and its symbol.
Taking to Twitter, Raut had claimed the Rs 2,000 crore deal was a preliminary figure and this was 100 per cent true. The Rajya Sabha member said his claim was backed by proof which he would soon disclose.
Notably, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on February 17 allotted the party name ‘Shiv Sena’ and the symbol ‘Bow and Arrow’ to the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
