Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said on Tuesday that BJP allies Nitish Kumar and N Chandrababu Naidu are dissatisfied with their cabinet portfolios. Speaking to reporters, he invoked the term "bhatakti aatma" (wandering restless spirit), which Prime Minister Modi had used for NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar, claiming that this restless soul would not stop till the BJP-led governments at the Centre and in Maharashtra were deposed.

Raut said that if RSS president Mohan Bhagwat considered the NDA administration at the Centre was not advantageous to the country, he should take steps to remove it. He alluded to Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu as "dissatisfied souls" and accused the BJP of failing to please its partners with portfolio allocations, reported PTI.
