Sanjay Raut Accuses BJP of Political Predation

Raut argued that the BJP’s reliance on orchestrating defections reveals a deeper structural fragility. He suggested that the party’s internal cohesion depends entirely on retaining power, warning that a loss of influence would trigger a rapid collapse of their own ranks.

Focusing on the local fallout of these maneuvers, Raut singled out Sachin Ahir, who recently moved to Eknath Shinde’s faction. He dismissed the defection as a product of pure greed, criticizing the move as a betrayal of the support Ahir received while within the Shiv Sena. For Raut, the incident serves as a stark example of how loyalty is being eroded in favor of political convenience.
