Sanjay Raut, a leader from Shiv Sena (UBT), has leveled serious accusations against Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, alleging that he is safeguarding 'Beed's Naxals'.
Raut's criticism stems from a string of violent incidents in Beed, where 38 murders have occurred over a few years, including the high-profile case of Santosh Deshmukh, a village sarpanch. The opposition has been vocal about the state's lackluster response to the incident.
An all-party protest is planned to push for a thorough investigation into Deshmukh's murder and to bring the alleged perpetrators to justice. Raut insists that Fadnavis's role as Home Minister should prioritize citizen safety over political scheming.
