Maharashtra’s high drama reached Delhi on Monday as a BJP team met union minister Nityanand Rai after party leader Kirit Somaiya on Saturday alleged an attack by over “100 Shiv Sena goons”, claiming that they wanted to kill him. The 68-year-old leader said that the minister of state for home affairs gave the BJP team an assurance. “Nityanand Rai assured us that he’ll talk to home secretary Ajay Bhalla in detail, and take a report on whatever is going on in Maharashtra. He also assured us that a special team of CISF or, if necessary, an officer from the union home ministry will be sent to Maharashtra.”
On Monday, former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis also continued his tirade against the BJP after he sought an action over an attack on his colleague.
