Mumbai, Feb. 4 -- Shiv Sena (UBT faction) MP Sanjay Raut launched a sharp attack on NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) national working president Praful Patel on Wednesday claiming that Patel took decisions based on directions from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and union Home Minister Amit Shah. He described Patel as a "devotee" of PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Talking to reporters here, Raut also questioned Patel's statement assuming responsibility for choosing the NCP 's leader in the aftermath of Ajit Pawar's demise. Raut said the NCP belongs to the Pawar family and not to Praful Patel. He also asked sarcastically whether Patel had been entrusted with the responsibility of deciding the leadership of the Pawar family itself.
