New Delhi: The Shiv Sena has launched its campaign against the central government outside Maharashtra. In a press conference held with the Kisan Raksha Party in Lucknow today (Saturday, February 5), senior Shiv Sena leader and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut have made it clear that the Shiv Sena will field 100 candidates outside Maharashtra in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Out of these, more than 50 candidates will be fielded from Uttar Pradesh. 

Sanjay Raut further said that it has started to compete with the Modi government at the Centre. The Shiv Sena has recently won the Lok Sabha by-election seats in Dadra and Nagar Haveli. The seat was considered to be a BJP fort and also reacted to yesterday's firing on AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi in UP. Talking to the media on the issue, Raut said, "It is said that there is a rule of law under the leadership of Yogi Adityanath in UP.'' 

Raut further said that, however, when the AIMIM leaders come here and five rounds are fired at them. All the bullets are on the tires. They don't get a single shot. This game needs to be understood. It is an attempt to polarize voters. Now no one is paying attention to the BJP. The Muslim candidate is not going to come to their point. This shooting is a message to them.'
