‘Responsibility on Naidu, Nitish to protect democracy, Constitution,’ says Sanjay Raut | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Saturday emphasised the crucial role that Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar, must play in safeguarding the Constitution and democracy. Both leaders have extended their support to the BJP-led NDA government, which has secured its third consecutive term in power.
“Now the biggest challenge is for Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar…who consider themselves worshippers and servants of democracy. Now the government has been formed with their support. So, it is the responsibility of these two people to save the Constitution, law and democracy,” he said.
Narendra Modi was appointed as the prime minister-designate by President Droupadi Murmu on Friday, paving the way for his swearing-in ceremony on Sunday. Modi led a BJP-led NDA coalition government.
According to an official communique, the President will administer the oath of office and secrecy to Modi and other members of the council of ministers at 7.15pm on Sunday at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Commenting on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about the share market, Raut expressed concern over the unusual fluctuations. He alleged that certain businessmen and politicians close to the Prime Minister have exploited the share market to benefit their industries and influence, suggesting a long-standing connection between them and the market.
“The people he (PM Modi) has with him, be it businessmen or politicians, used the share market to benefit their industries and their influence. That is why these two businessmen from Gujarat are running the country. And they have an old connection with the share market, this will keep happening, it will keep happening in the future too, the country will be looted,” he said.
Gandhi on June 6 during a press conference said that after ‘fake’ exit polls, stock markets rose, and then crashed on June 4.
“For the first time we noted that during the elections, the Prime Minister, the Union Home Minister and the Finance Minister commented on the stock market. The Prime Minister said that the stock market is rising at a great speed. The Union Home Minister said that on June 4 the stock market will be on the rise and you all should invest and similar was said by the Finance Minister…Amit Shah says to buy shares before June 4. On May 19, PM Modi says the stock market will break records on June 4. Why did the PM, Home Minister give investment advice to investors,” Rahul said.
