Shiv Sena Leaders Call for Regime Change; BJP Questions Claims Ahead of ElectionsPreviousNext

Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders Sanjay Raut and Uddhav Thackeray have called for a 'regime change' to replace the BJP-led government, linking it to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's return from Vietnam. They criticized the current administration's governance and law and order, citing protests and alleged electoral fraud. BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi challenged these claims, questioning the basis for Raut's predictions and suggesting external influences.
