Sanjay Raut And Uddhav Thackrey

Maharashtra Congress leader Naseem Khan on Friday said the unilateral announcement of candidates by the Shiv Sena (UBT) had angered his party workers and the state unit was keen on "friendly fights" in six Lok Sabha constituencies.

"At the time of the establishment of the government, PM Modi and Amit Shah said that we are with you. I remember the words of Amit bhai, who said, Shindeji, you move ahead, we are behind you like a rock," said Eknath Shinde.

A day after his release from jail, Rajya Sabha member and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday reached Mr Thackeray's private residence in Mumbai and met the former chief minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray.
