BJP’s CAA Narrative Didn’t Work In Jharkhand: Shiv Sena Leader Sanjay Raut

Mumbai: Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut slammed the central government and said that that the narrative of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) raised by Union Home Minister Amit Shah did not work in Jharkhand.

“Union Home Minister Amit Shah raised the issue of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in his rallies, but the work is not going on in Jharkhand. In view of this trend, it seems that the people of Jharkhand have rejected the BJP. The Adivasis residing in Jharkhand have kept the BJP away from power,” Raut told ANI.

When asked about his views on Prime Minister Modi’s speech at the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi yesterday, he said: “The Prime Minister should have given clarification in the House. The Union Home Minister and the Prime Minister are saying two different things.”
