Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister Amit Shah, and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis worked for Nitin Gadkari's defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. Raut alleged that Fadnavis had unwillingly campaigned for Gadkari when he realized he couldn't be defeated. The Uttar Pradesh chief minister will be replaced if the Modi-Shah government returns to power after the elections.
