 "Assam CM Sarma will be arrested not Rahul Gandhi, says Sanjay Raut")
Launching a blistering attack on Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over his remarks to arrest Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday said that the politics of the entire country is changing, adding "Perhaps you will be arrested instead of Rahul."
Addressing a press conference, Raut asked the Assam CM to arrest Rahul Gandhi right now.
"Do it now. After the Lok Sabha elections, the politics of the entire country is changing, perhaps you will be arrested instead of Rahul Gandhi. Much corruption is there," he said.
Responding to the West Bengal CM and Punjab CM decision to fight solo in the Lok Sabha elections, Raut said that in these two states, there is always some confusion in seat sharing.
"Be it Mamata Banerjee or AAP, they will contest elections alone but it does not mean that they will help the BJP or go with them. These two states are such that there is always some confusion in seat sharing," he added.
Further, slamming the ED's action, Sanjay Raut said that this is not the action of the ED but of BJP.

They don't give notice to Kirit Somaiya. We are not afraid, what will you do? Will you arrest us? This is not the action of ED but of BJP," Raut said.
