Taking a dig at the new Maharashtra government, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said, "This (BJP & Shinde faction alliance) is a temporary arrangement, they will not be able to go to people. They were lions in Shiv Sena. Even Kasab didn't have so much security but they had when they reached Mumbai. What are you scared of?"
Raut added, "Party won't weaken, our oxygen isn't power. We are not strong because we are in power, we are strong and that's why we are in power."
"People come and go.They opted to join our party and left due to outside forces. We will go to villages, will find other workers," Raut added.
