Sanjay Raut alleges political leaders could be killed in Lawrence Bishnoi's name

Thackeray faction MP Sanjay Raut accused Amit Shah of operating behind Lawrence Bishnoi's name and asked why Bishnoi is not handed over to other states' police.

Sanjay Raut, MP and leader of the Thackeray faction, has made serious allegations against Amit Shah, citing gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Speaking to the media, Raut said political leaders could be killed in Bishnoi's name. He said this was not a prediction but the truth. His claim has caused a stir in political circles.

Raut asked why Bishnoi, who is lodged in Sabarmati jail and is wanted by the police of several states, is not handed over to them. He said the police of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab and Chandigarh want him in several murder cases. Normally, when an accused is wanted, the police seek transit custody.

Raut listed the cases. Punjab Police want Bishnoi in the murder of singer Sidhu Moosewala. Mumbai Police had sought him in the Baba Siddique case. A demand was made in the Salman case too, and one will now be made in the Tiger Shroff case as well. Even so, Bishnoi, lodged in Gujarat's Sabarmati jail, is not transferred to other states.

He said criminals are brought from abroad, and have been brought from Myanmar too. So why is the Sabarmati jail criminal not handed over to the police? According to Raut, this means Bishnoi is only a name and the real face is Amit Shah's. He alleged that Shah is having crimes of his choice committed under cover of Bishnoi's name. Raut also said no one has dared say that Amit Shah himself is Lawrence Bishnoi. He alleged that Shah brought the country's mafia gangs under the BJP's umbrella and gave respectability to the corrupt.

Raut also referred to Bollywood. He said fear is being spread in Bollywood today, and that Amit Shah and people from Gujarat have been trying to take over Bollywood from the start. He said that as politics heats up and the issue of regime change gathers force, opponents will be murdered and attacked in this same Bishnoi's name. Raut said the BJP's Lawrence Bishnoi can go to any lengths, and that they have become frustrated.

Opponents had attacked the Thackeray faction, saying a regime change had taken place in the party without Thackeray even knowing. Raut replied to this as well. He said his party's regime change was carried out by the Lawrence Bishnoi of Delhi, whom he had mentioned the day before. According to him, all of these people are Bishnoi's associates. Those who gave speeches yesterday under a Shiv Sena board are all small Lawrence Bishnois, he said, while the big Lawrence Bishnois are from Gujarat and sit in Delhi. Raut said this change of power came about through Bishnoi's threats, muscle and the force of bullets, not through the force of votes.
