Sanjay Raut has a contender in Prithviraj Chavan

Seventy-seven-year-old Prithviraj Chavan has quietly ended the monopoly of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut. For a long time, Raut was the most sought-after politician for the electronic and print media. In fact, Raut set the agenda for the ruling party politicians, particularly chief minister Eknath Shinde and deputy chief ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar. Both the BJP and Shinde factions of the Sena were left almost defenseless every time Raut made a statement to the media.
