New Delhi: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and stated that he was just a temporary arrangement and not anyone’s boss.
Speaking at a press conference, the Shiv Sena MP stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had reached the peak of power due to top leaders like Advani, who had worked for decades.
Shiv Sena-UBT Leader Sanjay Raut’s Statement
Speaking to the media, Raut said, “Who is anyone’s boss? Modi, being the Prime Minister, is a temporary arrangement. Even Lord Ram and Lord Krishna left after completing their work. Advani was kept locked away like Shah Jahan while Modi became Prime Minister.”
“Today’s BJP reached the peak of power due to leaders like Advani, who worked for decades. Advani had the rightful claim to be Prime Minister, but he was sidelined like in a Mughal-style takeover,” he further added.
He further claimed that it was not in the hands of the Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to decide the successor.
“Devendra Fadnavis will not decide this. This is not in his hands… ” Raut said.
Raut also claimed that Narendra Modi must retire since he turns 75 years old in September and had introduced the rule himself in his party.
“Modi will turn 75 in September and according to the rule, he must retire… Narendra Modi had himself introduced the 75-year-rule in his party. The rule was applied to leaders like Lal Krishna Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi.” Raut stated.
On RSS’s Future Course
Speaking on RSS’s future course, the Shiv Sena (UBT) MP stated that RSS was the parent organization of the BJP and would decide their future course.
He also said that if the CM had to be told what RSS meant in politics, then he was a fake volunteer.
“RSS is the parent organization of BJP… The elders (RSS) will decide the future course. If Fadnavis needs to be told what RSS means in politics, then he is a fake RSS volunteer. The BJP president’s term has ended, but they have not appointed a new one yet. The RSS has a crucial role in this matter. Something is cooking behind the scenes,” Raut said.
Speaking on the Waqf Amendment Bill, Raut said that NDA allies like Chandrababu Naidu, Nitish Kumar, and Apna Dal should take a stand on the bill, and then others should be questioned.
“First, NDA allies like Chandrababu Naidu, Nitish Kumar, and Apna Dal should take a stand…Then ask others,” he said.
