Nagpur: BJP district president Sudhakar Kohale on Thursday warned Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut that the party workers will hit him with shoes if he continues to make baseless, irresponsible and unverified comments on their leaders.The former MLA was responding to a query on Rauts purported remarks made against BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule where he uploaded the latters picture in a casino in Macau on X claiming that he had splurged ₹3.5 crore in a single night.Terming Raut as an unimportant person, Kohale, who addressed a press meet on the partys Gaon Tithe Bhajapa (BJP in villages) warned him of a backlash in Vidarbha style if he continues his rants against their leaders. We have not protested as deputy chief minister had already clarified the partys stand that Bawankule was vacationing with his family and the casino was in the same hotel where they were staying. All our leaders have a clean image and any attempt to show them in a bad light would be dealt with sternly, he said.We also published the following articles recentlySanjay Raut alleges BJPs Bawankule gambled in Macau, BJP denies itShiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut accuses BJPs Chandrashekhar Bawankule of gambling 3.5 crores in a Macau casino.
