Amid a political row over the recitation of Hanumna Chalisa, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday, April 26, lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after Devendra Fadnavis slammed the Maharashtra government to use the ways of Hitler in the state.
If one has to see what dictatorship is, then one must cite the case of Gujarat independent MLA Jignesh Mevani, who was arrested for tweeting allegedly against the prime minister and rearrested after being released, he said.
While talking to reporters, Raut claimed that the BJP's desperation stems from its inability to come back to power in the state. He further said the BJP stands no chance of coming back to power in the state in the next 25 years.
"What kind of democracy is this? Devendra Fadanavis should also understand this type of democracy and express his opinion on it. The BJP's desperation stems from their inability to come back to power and there is no chance to again come back to power in the next 25 years. The only solution to this desperation is recitation of Hanuman Chalisa at his house," Raut added.
Raut also accused that former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya, who alleged that he was attacked by Shiv Sainiks last week, had "applied tomato sauce to pretend he was bleeding".
Fadnavis is misleading people. The charge of sedition has not been invoked for reciting Hanuman Chalisa. Don't read Hanuman Chalisa outside the houses of others. Do it in temples. (If) you will vitiate the environment by reciting Hanuman Chalisa, then you will be booked, Raut further mentioned.
"Any mad, psychopath says that he has been attacked by applying tomato sauce and demands President's rule in the state then this foolishness should be ignored," Raut said.
Fadnavis also attacked the Mumbai police of not taking seriously the "attack" on Somaiya over the weekend allegedly by Shiv Sainiks. He also wrote a letter to Union home secretary, claiming the city police were acting like "servants" of the Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government in the state.
The city police on Saturday arrested independent MP Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi Rana and booked them on charge of sedition, after they gave a call to recite Hanuman Chalisa outside CM Thackeray's private residence 'Matoshree' in suburban Bandra.
