Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday made another statement targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that there are four "people" who carry out 'Operation Kamal' including the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Enforcement Directorate (ED), Income Tax Department and police. "There are four people who carry out 'Operation Kamal' which are CBI, ED, Income Tax dept and Police. But it will not yield any result here.

He further asserted that he has 'full faith' in Supreme Court regarding its decision on Maharashtra's current situation.
