Sanjay Raut attacks CM Yogi
Sanjay Raut has targeted UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s campaign in Maharashtra. Replying to a question from the media, Raut said, Yogi Adityanath has always been our friend. We respect Baba Ji. We share their love with each other but if it is about elections and politics, what will Baba Ji do when he comes to Maharashtra, please tell me?
‘Can’t save Ayodhya, Chitrakoot’
He said Baba ji could not save his party in the Lok Sabha elections. If they cannot save Ayodhya and Chitrakoot, what will they do when they come to Maharashtra? Will make provocative remarks and attempt to incite riots. Baba ji should remember that he is the chief minister of a country. This is Maharashtra brothers, this is the land of Phule Sahu Ambedkar and Kshatrapati Shivaji. We will neither be divided nor divided in Maharashtra.
What does Sanjay Raut have to say about Rahul’s displeasure?
Meanwhile, on Rahul Gandhi’s dissatisfaction over the distribution of tickets, Raut said Rahul is a very restrained leader who knows the politics of Maharashtra well. Those who stayed inside came out and said something else. All three parties here are very powerful. All three hold the same number of seats. In Haryana, the Congress contested the entire seat but was unable to form the government. Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas, if this slogan is needed the most, then Mahavikas Aghadi needs it the most.
