BJP scripted Raj Thackeray's remarks on loudspeakers, says Sanjay Raut
India Today
Slamming Raj Thackeray for demanding mosque loudspeakers to be turned off, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said that the MNS chief's remarks were "scripted and sponsored" by the BJP.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday hit out at Raj Thackeray for demanding that loudspeakers in mosques be shut down, saying the MNS chief's speech was "scripted and sponsored" by the BJP.
Speaking at a rally at Shivaji Park in Mumbai on Saturday, Raj Thackeray demanded that if the playing of loudspeakers in mosques at high volume is not stopped, there will be speakers outside mosques playing Hanuman Chalisa at a higher volume.
"It is clear that the (speech of) the loudspeaker blaring at the Shivaji Park yesterday was scripted and sponsored by BJP," Raut told reporters here in an apparent reference to the MNS chief.
Raut criticised the MNS president for his remarks that Shiv Sena remembered the assurance of rotational chief ministership only after the 2019 results, which was a mandate for the Sena-BJP alliance and not for Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).
"I wonder why some people get their wisdom teeth so late. Governments are formed on majority numbers in the legislature. These numbers were with the MVA. The MVA alliance government had been formed to teach liars a lesson and to provide stability to the state," Raut said.
He said that no third person should poke his nose into what transpired between the Sena and the BJP in 2019 before the formation of the MVA government.
