Mumbai, April 6: After Enforcement Directorate (ED) attached properties linked to Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut and his kin, under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), he now has alleged that ED's move was an outcome of political vendetta to overthrow the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
The ED on Tuesday, attached Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut's properties in connection with Rs 1,034 crore Patra Chawl land scam case, the law enforcement agency said. The properties attached include Raut's Alibaug plot and one flat in Dadar, Mumbai.
On March 25, Raut had lashed out against the Centre, alleging that there is a nexus between the central agencies and the BJP to defame the Maharashtra govt. These developments come against the backdrop of BMC elections slated to be held this year.
Just after ED attached the properties, Raut claimed, "I have already intimated to Rajya Sabha Chairman that pressure was coming my way to topple the Maharashtra government and my refusal to destabilise Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) have resulted in the investigation of a central agency."
Speaking to media, Raut said, "I am not the one who will get scared. Seize my property, shoot me, or send me to jail, Sanjay Raut is a disciple of Balsaheb Thackeray and a Shiv Sainik. I will fight and expose everyone. I am not the one to stay quiet, let them dance. The truth will prevail," he said.

"What is the meaning of property? It means asset. Now you understand the meaning of assets. Am I Vijay Mallya, Mehul Choksi, Nirav Modi or Ambani-Adani? The home where I stay is a very small house. At my native place in Alibag, I do not even have an acre of land. Whatever I have is my hard-earned money," were the words of Raut.
On March 25, Raut had lashed out against the Centre, alleging that there is a nexus between the central agencies and the BJP to defame the Maharashtra govt. These developments come against the backdrop of BMC elections slated to be held this year.
