While addressing a press conference on April 17, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Faction) leader Sanjay Raut said that pressure is being imposed using various agencies to divide NCP just like Shiv Sena was divided.

He said, “Sharad Pawar said that the way Shiv Sena has been divided, efforts are being made to break NCP by putting pressure from CBI, ED or EOW but the party will not go with BJP. Yes, if someone personally wants, they can leave the party, it will be their personal decision.”
