Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut raised concerns about the source of income of a charity organization controlled by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde`s son, MP Shrikant Shinde, implying that funds could be misused for political objectives. However, the Shiv Sena, led by Shinde, denied these charges, emphasising the Foundation`s developmental initiatives and financial support to the underprivileged.

Raut stated writing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and State Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis about the foundation, indicating a desire to include investigative authorities such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) or the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), reported PTI.
