MUMBAI: Calling prime minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with chief ministers of states on Covid-19 a “one-sided conversation,” Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday said the meeting was used to “taunt CMs of non-BJP-ruled states.” Raut also tweeted a copy of an FIR against independent MP Navneet Rana registered at Mulund police station and said that Rana was out on bail in a “fake caste certificate case.”
“It was a meeting of chief ministers of states. It was supposed to be a meeting on the Covid-19 pandemic. But the PM spoke on other issues more, and be it Mamata Banerjee or Uddhav Thackeray or K Chandrashekhar Rao, you see their statements and you will find that it was a unilateral conversation. There was more taunting of CMs from non-BJP-ruled states. This was not expected from the PM. Even the issue about VAT on fuel prices was unnecessary. Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray has already made clear what he wanted to say,” Raut said.
