A mention of Rs 500 crore has triggered a fresh political row between allies Shiv Sena and the BJP, according to the report. The controversy has put the focus on Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his son Shrikant Shinde.

Both Eknath Shinde and Shrikant Shinde have denied any connection with the money. No further details were provided in the input about the source or context of the claim.

The matter appears to have escalated into a war of words between the two allies, though the exact circumstances remain unclear from the available information. It is not known whether any formal complaint or investigation has been initiated.
