Jaleel further said ‘in the country BJP is the party, which is causing great damage to the country and to defeat the BJP his party is ready to make an alliance to with all opposition parties. Reacting to Jaleel’s statement, Raut said we won’t make alliance with this party, because we don’t join hands with ‘any person who bends before Aurangzeb. People who follow Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Sambhaji Maharaj will never form an alliance with that party, Raut added.
