Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not call himself a 'fakir' now with the addition of a "₹12 crore" car in his cavalcade.
In his weekly column 'Rokhthok' in the Sena mouthpiece Saamana, Mr Raut also praised former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru for always using an Indian-made car, and late PM Indira Gandhi for not replacing her security guards despite a threat to her life.
“On December 28, media reported pictures of a Rs 12 crore car for Prime Minister Modi. A person who calls himself a fakir, a pradhan sevak, uses a foreign made car," Raut said.

When it was brought his notice that there is speculation that MLAs supporting Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had been targeted in the honey-trapping instances, Mr. Yathindra referred to the reported attempts on even BJP MLAs and wondered if it meant that the saffron party legislators too are backing Mr. Siddaramaiah.
