Shiv Sena leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has described the contribution of Mayawati and Owaisi in the victory of BJP in the UP assembly elections. Raut said, “BJP has got a big victory, UP was their state, yet Akhilesh Yadav’s seats have increased. Mayawati and Owaisi have contributed to the victory of BJP, all of them will have to give Padma Vibhushan and Bharat Ratna. We are happy, Wins and losses keep happening. We are also involved in your happiness.”
Sanjay Raut has raised questions on the defeat of BJP in Punjab. He said, “You tell us time and again how many seats Shiv Sena got in UP? The defeat of Congress and Shiv Sena in UP is worse for you in Punjab. You give some guidance to the country about this. Worry. The topic of this is that the people of Punjab have completely rejected the BJP which is a national party in Punjab. PM Modi, Home Minister and Defense Minister campaigned fiercely there, yet why BJP lost?”
Raut asked – Why did the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand lose the election?
Sanjay Raut said, “BJP has won in 4 states. We have nothing to worry about, we are part of your happiness. BJP leaders should tell why Uttarakhand Chief Minister lost the election. In Goa, 2 Deputy Chief Ministers were defeated. Of most concern is Punjab, where a nationalist party like the BJP has been completely rejected.”
