Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in an interview with Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut will be released in two parts, on July 25 and July 26 respectively. Releasing its teaser, Saamana Editor and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said that it is an 'Unlocked interview' with CM Uddhav. Earlier Raut interviewed interviewed NCP supremo Sharad Pawar - who was the first non-Thackeray politician to be featured on Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana.
Taking to Twitter, Raut on Thursday released a video in which CM Uddhav talks about the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance government.
He says in Marathi, "Leader of the opposition party have claimed that Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress alliance regime would "collapse" on its own, owing to their internal contradictions."
In the interview Thackeray has given open challenge to BJP leaders saying," While I am giving this interview, overthrow the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance government".
Even as multiple reports suggest that Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government is in muddy waters, Raut asks the Maharashtra CM, "What is MVA?" to which CM Uddhav responds saying, "What has to be accepted should be accepted, and I did it."
For the past few days, there has been talks that Bharatiya Janata Party is trying to topple the eight-month old Maharashtra government led by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
