Look who's talking; 'Arrogance often leads to doom', Shivsena's Sanjay Raut notes!

Mumbai, December 26: In a veiled dig at former ally BJP, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday said arrogance often leads to downfall of people. This is in the backdrop of the BJP's tough stand over protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens.

 

 

"Toofan mein kashtian aur ghamand mein hastiyan aksar doob jaati hain", Raut, one of the arrogant leaders himslef said in a tweet. BJP in Maharashtra has been standing by the state, poking Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in the spirit of development, since it parted ways with its ally last month over the issue of sharing the chief ministerial post in the state.

 

In a counter move, Raut has been blatantly taking aim at the BJP through his various posts on the micro-blogging site. The Rajya Sabha member on Monday also took to Twitter to launch a veiled attack on the BJP by quoting words of late American leader Martin Luther King.

"If politics creates religious issues, then one should know the country is being run by wrong people", Raut said while attributing the comment to the legendary civil rights leader. PM Narendra Modi on Wednesday slammed those who damaged public property during protests in Uttar Pradesh against the amended citizenship law, saying they should ask themselves whether what they did was right.

 

The BJP has been countering protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in several parts of the country, by asserting that the new law does not discriminate against people on religious lines.
