Rao made no bones about stating that if the BJP did not reverse its policies of vengeance and misuse of central agencies, “they will have to face the consequences” in the coming days.Clearly, it is a fightback against the Centre as Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut had alleged only last week at a press conference that the BJP had threatened to “fix” him if he did not help to topple the Maha Vikas Aghadi government.He claimed that the fightback not only had the sanction of his top leadership but also that of Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar (who also met Rao today) and several top Congress leaders.That all other parties are joining the fightback is obvious from the fact that Rao, known to be earlier inimical to the Congress (he had called for a non-Congress opposition front) swiftly squashed questions about the same and, without contradicting himself, said this was the first step in their unity and they would go region-by-region, state-by-state and party-by-party, “one step at a time”, until the entire unity is achieved.
