Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and MP Sanjay Raut has alleged that during Eknath Shinde's tenure as a minister in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Uddhav Thackeray, the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi had plans to arrest him.

Rawat stated, "The Modi government had planned to arrest Eknath Shinde. Whether this is true or false, we should ask the Chief Minister himself." When questioned about the alleged offences, Raut claimed, "He has committed several crimes. He is involved in illegal money transfer."

According to Raut, Shinde was given an ultimatum: either leave the Maha Vikas Aghadi along with several MLAs or face legal action. "Shinde was told that he should split the Shiv Sena or face arrest," Raut asserted.

In a related development, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray disclosed that during Shinde's tenure as a minister, he approached CM Uddhav Thackeray with a plea to align with the BJP. "Eknath Shinde came to 'Matoshree' and met Uddhav Thackeray. He was crying at that time, desperately urging my father to join hands with the BJP," Thackeray revealed.

Thackeray further alleged that the Modi government had threatened Shinde to either join the BJP or face arrest.
