Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said police would take strict action against anyone issuing threats after Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut accused MP Sanjay Dina Patil of threatening protesters following his defection

The “breaking a party” remark came in the context of six of nine UBT Shiv Sena Lok Sabha MPs switching to the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde. Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Raut claimed that the country has been under an “Emergency-like situation” for the past 12 years
