These six MPs issued a joint statement stating their discontent with the current leadership's working style and their belief that the party has deviated from its core principles.Amidst these developments, Sanjay Raut, a prominent leader and spokesperson of the Uddhav faction, crossed all lines of decorum during a press conference.
He used objectionable and abusive language against the rebel MPs and their alleged supporters.
