'It is necessary to introspect what was discussed'

Sanjay Raut also slammed Union Home Minister Amit Shah and said, is necessary to introspect what was discussed in closed-door between Uddhav Thackeray and Amit Shah

This is about future of Maharashtra. Shiv Sena has never tred in politics. This is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s Maharashtra. We work on principles of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. If talks decided were taken to PM Modi, maybe this situation wouldn’t have arisen.  talks took place in late Balasaheb Thackeray’s room, that room is like a temple. If someone refutes talks me in that room, n that’s an insult to that temple of Balasaheb Thackeray and Maharashtra. It is necessary to introspect what was discussed in closed-door. We respect Modi more than BJP people do.
