Mumbai, June 24 -- Shiv Sena MLC Dr Manisha Kayande on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, calling him a "traitor" for allegedly encouraging leaders from parties to join the Congress.

Speaking to ANI, Kayande questioned his loyalty to Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and accused him of making "abusive" remarks on Sena UBT MPs who joined Eknath Shinde-led faction.

"First of all, he is a big traitor because he is asking people to join Congress. He is asking people from the Trinamool Congress and other parties to go to Congress. So, whose spokesperson is he? Is he loyal to Uddhav Thackeray? That is my question for him. Just hurling abuses is not going to work," Kayande said.
