Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut heaps praise on Rahul Gandhi

Shiv Sena spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Monday heaped praise on Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, saying the leader has now earned the credibility to lead the grand old party as president.

Raut said change is visible in Rahul’s leadership and people have also started taking him seriously.

A couple of days back, the Shiv Sena leader had already expressed his displeasure over mocking Rahul on social media, saying that people have the power to unseat any political party.  

On the other hand, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said the Shiv Sena must realise that it cannot play the role of a ruling party and opposition simultaneously.

His comments came as the BJP-Sena coalition government completes its three years in office on Tuesday.

"Some Sena leaders have developed the habit of opposing everything our government does... One can understand opposition to a few things as they are a different party," Fadnavis said. (With PTI Inputs)
