Raut hits back at BJP over Jarange clip: they have no work left

BJP leader Prasad Lad has claimed that the clip Manoj Jarange has was made by Sanjay Raut himself, that it was prepared in the war room of the UBT, and that Raut should therefore be investigated. The demand has caused a stir. Thackeray faction leader Sanjay Raut has now hit back. He was speaking to the media.

Raut said the BJP people now have no work left. He said the voices in the clip can be heard clearly. According to him, these people are speaking without reason and will say something even bigger tomorrow. He taunted that if these people were to have a child, they would say it happened because of Sanjay Raut.

Raut also said he would thank Manoj Jarange. Jarange gave voice to a big issue and brought the ugly face of politicians before the country. What the BJP people are saying after that is laughable and foolish, Raut said. He said it is ridiculous to claim that Sanjay Raut made the tape. People are laughing at them, but they do not understand it. "This is the level of these people," Raut said.

Raut asked whose tape it is and whose voices are inside it. He said these people's wisdom and understanding are at this level, so for the BJP to trust their wisdom is like ruining itself. He said these people have no brains, only a lump of clay. Because they have money and power, this lump of clay is moving about. Raut also said the minds of the senior BJP leaders sitting in Delhi are not working either.

A controversy has arisen in the country over a statement by Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge. Raut supported that statement. He said that in villages, a father is called "baap" or "old man", and people ask, "Where is your father, where is your old man?" But the BJP has no work to do, he said. Kharge has seen many years of summer and monsoon.

According to Raut, the BJP may think that taking to the streets will win it sympathy, but nothing of the sort will happen. He said even this government's "baap" will go from power. Nobody drags in the Prime Minister's father, he said. Modi has a habit of saying that his mother was dragged in and his father was dragged in. Raut said Modi has a habit of crying and shouting like a small child and keeps beating his chest like a child. He made it clear that nobody drags in anyone's father.
