During his hour-long media briefing, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut invoked the "Marathi manoos vs outsiders" pitch his party often uses. Raut's target was BJP leader and former MP Kirit Somaiya, who has been attacking the MVA government, particularly the Shiv Sena and the NCP leaders. Somaiya had also levelled charges of benami property against Thackerays. One of them was about benami property in Alibaug.
