Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday hit out at the opposition BJP for criticising the Maharashtra government after initially supporting it over the restrictions imposed by it to check the spread of COVID-19.

Talking to reporters, Raut said that the opposition parties in the country should stop indulging in politics during the pandemic. "Initially, the opposition BJP supported Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray''s plea for cooperation while imposing strict curbs, but now it is criticising," the Sena MP said.
