"Deal For ₹50-60 Cr": Sanjay Raut Claims Uddhav Faction MPs Being Bought For ₹15 Crore Advance

In an explosive interview with India Today Group’s Maria Shakil, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut alleged a massive bribery scandal rocking the Uddhav Thackeray faction. Raut claimed that a deal worth ₹50-60 crore per MP has been struck to engineered defections, with a ₹15 crore advance paid to lawmakers before boarding specific chartered flights to Delhi. Dismissing media reports of 6 MPs signing a exit letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker, Raut labeled the signatures forged, declaring a mandatory parliamentary party meeting tomorrow to act as the ultimate test of loyalty.
