Not a sin to talk politics: Raut on Fadnavis meet
September 29, 2020 11:55
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut reacts to his meeting with BJP leader and former Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, yesterday.
"Is it a sin to discuss politics? If two political leaders meet they discuss issues related to the country, farm bills, Jammu and Kashmir, China, Pakistan, COVID-19," Raut said.
However, Chandrakant Patil, Maharashtra BJP chief said that if top leaders of two different political parties meet, political discussions do take place. "If they sat together for 2-2.5 hours, they didn't discuss tea-biscuits. But it was inconclusive.
"I said yesterday that Sanjay Raut had asked Devendra Fadnavis for an interview in Saamana and had also said that they'll sit together once before it to see questions-to rule out anything controversial. No political discussion took place as it was never the purpose.
"Be it Farm Bills or any other matter, they (Congress, Shiv Sena, NCP) will fight with each other and break up. Then what will happen next? Mid term election. It is my analysis, it is not necessary that this will happen.
So, as party's state chief, I'd like to clarify that there is no proposal to form govt with Shiv Sena, NCP or Congress. We are playing the role of an active Opposition. We can't form govt with the three but those three can't stay together."
