Speaking to the reporters in Mumbai, Raut said, "This is very disgusting politics. When you lose elections....Central agencies & Governor's House are being misused in the country - look at what is happening in West Bengal. What kind of democracy is being run in our country?"

Reacting to Aditya Thackeray's speech on Thursday, he said, "Aaditya Thackeray said in UP yesterday that very disgusting politics is taking place in the country right now. We will have to fight it together."
