If Gopinath Munde had lived, the Sena-BJP coalition would have remained unchanged, states Raut

Sanjay Raut, a Shiv Sena MP, claimed on Sunday that if late Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Gopinath Munde had been alive, the Sena-BJP alliance in Maharashtra would have remained intact. According to a source, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut claimed that as a leader, Gopinath Munde understood the Shiv Sena and its power and that there is no present leader in the state BJP who can match his stature.
Sanjay Raut, the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Maharashtra unit's new leader, paid tribute to Gopinath Munde on his birthday. The Sena MP went on to remark that no present BJP leader can communicate, grasp state politics, or comprehend the Shiv Sena as well as Gopinath Munde.
Gopinath Munde, according to the Sena MP, went to great lengths to ensure that the Sena-BJP alliance remained intact to the very last. If the late BJP had been alive, Maharashtra's politics would have been different, according to Sanjay Raut. "He, too, was a well-liked leader, and we worked together for 25 to 30 years," Raut recalled.
Former state deputy chief minister Gopinath Munde, one of the BJP's most powerful figures in Maharashtra, was brought into the Union Cabinet for the first time after the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. With Maharashtra's Assembly elections set for later that year, he was tipped to be the BJP's CM candidate.
On June 3, 2014, Gopinath Munde, 64, died in an automobile accident in Delhi. On the occasion of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar's birthday on Sunday, Sanjay Raut heaped accolades on him. Only under the leadership and guidance of Sharad Pawar has the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) experiment in Maharashtra proven successful, he claims.
