Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut is well known for criticising the BJP and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis regularly, but he ended up praising Fadnavis on Friday in Mumbai, surprising several political observers.
Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena workers barged into the South Mumbai office of a company on Friday and took to task a Bihari manager who used to allegedly mentally harass a Maharashtrian employee and kept saying "Ek Bihari sab pe bhaari" (one Bihari is enough to dominate everybody).

Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has accused Ajit-Pawar-led NCP leader Praful Patel of orchestrating efforts to split Sharad Pawar-led NCP.
Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde would never have had the guts to try delaying tactics and sulking against Maharashtra CM frontrunner Devendra Fadnavis unless he had the backing of some 'Mahashakti' (superpower) in Delhi, Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said in Delhi on Tuesday.
Shinde and 32 Shiv Sena MLAs and seven other legislators belonging to smaller parties and independents arrived in Guwahati on Wednesday and are now staying at a luxury hotel in the city.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut also confirmed the developments and said, "Some MLAs of Shiv Sena and Eknath Shinde are currently not reachable. Efforts are being made to topple the MVA government but BJP has to remember that Maharashtra is very different from Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh."
The Sena hit back by sacking Shinde as the party leader in the legislature and replacing him with a loyal sainik, Ajay Chaudhari this afternoon.
Raj Thackeray has warned that the MNS workers will play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers.
