MPs offered ₹15 crore to switch sides: Sanjay Raut amid defection reports in Sena (UBT)

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut alleged that party MPs are being offered ₹15 crore each to join NDA ally and Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde's faction. Reacting, TMC's Mahua Moitra joked, "Why so cheap? Ours got ₹4 crore upfront and ₹1 crore a month." Raut replied that ₹15 crore was only an advance and "fixed rate" was ₹50 crore/MP.
