Sanjay Raut, a prominent leader of Shiv Sena (UBT) and a key opposition figure in Maharashtra, has announced a two-month break from public life due to serious health issues. Sources close to him have confirmed that Raut has been advised by doctors to rest as he has undergone two angioplasties in 2019 and 2020, and his condition has recently worsened. Despite his health concerns, Raut remains optimistic about making a full recovery by the New Year and plans to resume his public engagements soon.

Raut shared a message on social media, explaining that his health has suddenly deteriorated and that he is currently undergoing treatment. He expressed gratitude to his supporters, family, and party workers, and assured them that he hopes to be back in the political arena by early next year. His decision to step away from public activities comes at a critical time, as he was expected to participate in an opposition protest against electoral irregularities, which has now been postponed.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicly wished Raut a swift recovery, highlighting the importance of health and well-being amid political tensions. Raut's health setback has raised concerns among political allies and opponents alike, as he has been a staunch critic of the BJP-led government and a vocal supporter of Uddhav Thackeray. His absence from public events, including ongoing protests and political rallies, is seen as a potential setback for the opposition movement in Maharashtra.
