Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday alleged that the BJP was behind the violence witnessed in Bihar and West Bengal on Ram Navami. Calling it government-sponsored violence, Raut also alleged that's why the riots were happening in states where the BJP's hold is weak. Raut also dared Home Minister Amit Shah to "hang upside down" those behind the violence in Bihar. He was reacting to Shah's comment that if the BJP came to power in Bihar it would "hang upside down" all rioters. "We all know who is behind these riots. All this is happening keeping in mind the elections of 2024. Leaders of the ruling party are involved in this," the Rajya Sabha MP said.
