Sanjay Raut in the party mouthpiece Saamna made objectionable comments against BJP and PM Modi while speaking about the Madhya Pradesh Assembly Elections. He said that the prime objective of PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah was not to defeat the Congress but to politically finish Shivraj Singh Chouhan on his home turf.
"We demand one election on the ballot paper, whether Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha. After that, there will be no scope for people to question EVM," Sanjay Raut claimed.
The ED said that the accused used the reference of his friend Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut to meet additional municipal commissioner Sanjeev Jaiswal during the pandemic to discuss Worli COVID jumbo hospital tenders for Dahisar and Worli in Maharashtra.
The ED arrested Sujit Patkar, a close aide of Sanjay Raut, along with Dr Kishor Bisure, the academic dean who was in charge of the Dahisar Covid field hospital.
