On the last occasion of elections, Sanjay Raut said that Eknath Shinde promised his people to give Rs 50-50 crores to win the elections.

In view of the Maharashtra Assembly elections, there is a tussle going on for seats in Mahavikas Aghadi. Although the leaders of the alliance say that the matter is almost done, the pictures on the ground are telling something else. Today there is ruckus between Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress regarding many seats. In this connection, senior leaders of Congress have come to meet the leaders of Mahavikas Aghadi today. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut himself has given this information. Sanjay Raut said in the matter that today Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat, who was in Delhi, has come to meet Sharad Pawar in the morning. After this he will come to Matoshree and then we, Uddhav Thackeray and other Shiv Sena leaders will hold a meeting with the Congress leaders and then see what to do, but as of now everything is fine."  Further Sanjay Raut said, "Yesterday, there were two vehicles , of which there were approximately Rs 15 crores. As I said earlier, Eknath Shinde has promised his people Rs 50 crore each to win the elections, this was the first installment of Rs 15 crore. There were two vehicles, they left one after receiving the call because the inspector on duty there was in the service of the first MLA. About 150 MLAs of the state have so far received Rs 15 crore each."
