Book

Talking to reporters, Raut said comparison of Shivaji Maharaj with anyone was “not acceptable”, and the book seemed to be the handiwork of some “bootlickers” to appease the prime minister.

He said the BJP should declare that it has no link with the book, titled “Aaj ke Shivaji: Narendra Modi”

BJP Rajya Sabha MP Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje, who is also a descendant of the warrior king, also demanded a ban on the book
