He gave a one-week ultimatum for the Congress leadership to rectify things. He warned the party that if they fail to do so, he had all his options open.
Tehseen Poonawalla, the Congress sympathiser and brother-in-law of Robert Vadra slammed the Shiv Sena (UBT) for unilaterally deciding to field candidates on the three seats Congress was seeking.
Sanjay Nirupam further said, "Who is the candidate whose name has been proposed by Shiv Sena? He is a scammer of the Khichdi scam. He has taken a bribe in check from the Khichdi supplier."
This comes two days after Sanjay Raut said that Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief Uddhav Thackeray will not attend the Pran Praitshta ceremony on 22nd January. He had called it as a "BJP event". He even went on to allege that the BJP had kidnapped Lord Ram.
