Sanjay Raut's came after the BJP accused the Shiv Sena of paying only lip service to the cause of Hindutva.
Sanjay Raut's remark comes amid a war of words between the Shiv Sena and BJP after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said that his party "wasted 25 years as part of an alliance with BJP".
Sanjay Raut said that Shiv Sena had presented a proposal to the Congress to form a pre-poll alliance along with the NCP and the Goa Forward Party (GFP) but the grand old party did not respond to the plan.
Sanjay Raut said that NCP and Shiv Sena tried to form an MVA like alliance in Goa but did not get positive response from Congress.
Earlier, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal said his party will welcome Utpal Parrikar if he is willing to join it.
Earlier on Tuesday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar had said that he is in talks with Congress and Trinamool Congress for a possible alliance to contest the Goa assembly polls.
The pre-poll churning in Uttar Pradesh has seen the BJP getting a jolt with six MLAs resigning from the party and three ministers quitting amid signals that they will join Samajwadi Party.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday said the political situation it Goa is such that the Congress cannot go beyond single digit if it contests the assembly polls in the coastal state on its own.
Sanjay Raut said that Shiv Sena has been working for a long time in Uttar Pradesh but didn’t contest elections because it did not want to hurt the BJP.
Elections in Goa are all set to be held on 14th of February this year. Talking about Shiv Sena and on whether or not BJP will retain the CM chair in the state, Sanjay Raut speaks with India TV. Watch this episode of Ye Public Hai Sab Jaanti Hai.
The Shiv Sena will try to replicate Maharashtra's "successful" Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance formula for the upcoming Goa polls, Sanjay Raut had earlier said before meeting the Congress leaders. The Shiv Sena MP is currently on a four-day visit to the poll-bound state.
In his weekly column 'Rokhthok' in the Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana', Raut also praised former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru for always using an Indian-made car, and late PM Indira Gandhi for not replacing her security guards despite a threat to her life.
On the sidelines of the event at Nashik in Maharashtra, some reporters asked the Rajya Sabha member why he was not wearing a mask, a norm to be followed to curb the spread of COVID-19.
It was the BJP which "ditched" the Shiv Sena in 2014 for a larger share in power, Sanjay Raut claimed while talking to reporters in Delhi.
BJP Mahila Morcha national general secretary, Deepti Rawat Bhardwaj alleged that the Shiv Sena MP also threatened the workers with their life.
Describing Pawar as a visionary and thinking politician who has given the state and country a direction, Raut recalled the NCP leader's warning a quarter of a century back as to how the Bharatiya Janata Party adopted divisive methods, which hampered the unity of the country.
Sanjay Raut said that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh or Prime Minister Narendra Modi should eliminate all doubts about CDS General Bipin Rawat's helicopter crash incident.
Ahead of her meeting with Raut, Priyanka Gandhi released the 'Women's Manifesto' in Lucknow today.
Shiv Sena leader said that the face of the opposition front may be a matter of discussion. Rahul Gandhi will soon visit Mumbai. There should be only one opposition front.
Sanjay Raut said in NDA, during the leadership of the late PM Vajpayee, there were many having ideological differences and some even opposing the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, but they all worked together.
