Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut on Friday said they praised Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in the Saamana editorial as the state government had done a "commendable job" by getting the Naxalites operating in Gadchiroli district to surrender, reported news agency ANI.

Criticising the previous guardian minister of Gadchiroli, Raut alleged that the minister had appointed his agents and collected money that increased Naxalism. Raut further said that his party appreciates that the CM has taken charge of Gadchiroli as the guardian minister.
