Issues from Mumbai can be sent as parcel to Bihar: Sanjay Raut

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ A day after the Election Commission of India announced the schedule of Bihar elections to be held in three phases on october 28, November 3 and 7, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said if Bihar doesnt have enough issues, Mumbai can parcel some.

His jibe came in the backdrop of allegations that the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who hailed from Bihar, is being used as an election issue in Bihar.

Elections in Bihar should be fought on the issues of development, law and order, and good governance, but if these issues have exhausted, then issues from Mumbai can be sent as parcel, the Shiv Sena leader said.

The state police departments of Bihar and Maharashtra locked horns over the investigation into the death of Rajput who was found dead on June 14 at his Mumbai residence. Former Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey accused Maharashtra Police of not co-operating with them. It is also being speculated that Pandey may join politics after he took a VRS.
