Sanjay Raut vs Ajit Pawar in Maharashtra: Spat over spitting in protest and 'urinating in dam' remark

A war of words erupted between Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut and Nationalist Congress Party's Ajit Pawar with both leaders attacking each other indirectly amid a "spitting" row. "Spitting act is not Maharashtra's culture", Ajit Pawar said after Sanjay Raut 'accidentally' spits on media personnel. Responding to Ajit Pawar, Raut said "spitting is better than urinating in a dam", apparently alluding to Ajit Pawar's controversial remarks.
