Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday gave Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi the credit for the Centre's decision to conduct a caste census.
Speaking about the possibility of an alliance between Shiv Sena (UBT) and Raj Thackeray’s MNS, Raut asserted that any decision in this regard will be taken by the two brothers.
He said, "Manmohan Singh was called 'Maun' (silent) Mohan Singh by our present PM. Why then he isn't speaking out now? Why has he become a mute PM," Raut asked.
The Waqf Bill has been brought merely to legalise the buying and sale of that land, he said.
Accusing the BJP and its allies of a plan to create chaos in Parliament, he stated that there are doubts whether MPs will be even allowed to vote for or against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill.
"Sanjay Raut's statement is merely a political stunt. There is no rule in the BJP that Modi should retire from politics after 75, nor has there been any such decision, ” Bawankule tweeted on his X handle on Tuesday.
''No, not a chance...there is no need to search for his successor. He is our leader and will continue," he declared in Nagpur.
On Friday, the Madras High Court granted interim anticipatory bail to Kunal Kamra in connection with multiple FIRs lodged against him.
Raut said that just like BJP MP Kangana Ranaut was given protection after her "rift" with the Shiv Sena, Kamra too must be provided the same privilege.
Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Friday lashed out against Maharashtra Tourism Minister Shambhuraj Desai’s directive to police that stand-up comic Kunal Kamra must be subjected to "third-degree" torture as soon as he is nabbed.
