With the standoff over government formation continuing in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday quoted words of a noted Hindi poet to send across a message to ally BJP, which has rejected its demand for sharing the chief minister's post in the state.
Raut, without taking any names, also said somebody was trying to prove Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray a liar and admitted that everyone is "greedy" for power.
"Sirf hungama khada karna mera maksad nahi, meri koshish hai ki ye surat badalni chahiye...."(only creating commotion is not my aim, my attempt is that this situation should change), the Rajya Sabha member tweeted, quoting lines of famous poet Dushyant Kumar.
Raut later told reporters here that his party wanted to "change the face of politics in Maharashtra. We are not making just creating commotion here."
Without taking any name, Raut said, "I am talking on behalf of my party. Someone is trying to prove Uddhav Thackeray a liar. It is wrong, but nobody is talking about it. A promise was made and now (BJP) is not keeping it...but nobody is talking about it."
To another question, Raut said, "Everyone is greedy for power and nobody wants to give up crucial posts."
