He speaks in Hindi, but we all understand Marathi.” Laughter was visible on the faces of the people present on the stage at the minister’s words. After this Sanjay Dutt took the mike and first raised slogans of “Har Har Mahadev”. Then he said in a joking tone, “Pratap Bhai, I was in jail for 6 years in Yerwada.

I had learned a little.” BJP MLA targets Shiv Sena minister On Sanjay Dutt’s statement, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Narendra Mehta raised questions on Pratap Sarnaik.
