Dirty politics played out to destabilise govt in Maharashtra will not be successful: Sanjay Raut

Sanjay Raut's statement came after suspended cop Sachin Waze in a letter claimed former state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had demanded Rs 2 crore from him to continue his service in the Mumbai police

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday claimed that dirty politics was being played out to destabilise the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra. He also said that such attempts will not be successful. Sanjay Raut's remarks came a day after suspended cop Sachin Waze in a letter claimed former state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had demanded Rs 2 crore from him to continue his service in the Mumbai police and another minister Anil Parab asked him to collect money from contractors. Sachin Waze was arrested last month by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in the case of an explosives-laden SUV found near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's residence in south Mumbai and the death of businessman Mansukh Hiran.
