MUMBAI: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray on Thursday claimed that the "Rs 50 crore culture", which has become a central theme in Maharashtra politics since the Shiv Sena split, is not just a political taunt but a serious financial allegation.
He said that if 40 MLAs each received Rs 50 crore at the time of the split in the Shiv Sena in June 2022, the total sum is Rs 2, 000 crore.
Raj Thackeray said, "Where did this money come from? Whose money is it?"
In a joint interview with cousin and Shiv Sena-UBT chief Uddhav Thackeray in Saamana, Raj Thackeray accused the Mahayuti government of using investigative agencies selectively.
