Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut has strongly criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s expected visit to the Kumbh Mela, cautioning that if voters in Delhi are swayed by this symbolic move, it would pose a “threat” to the country’s democratic structure, according to ANI.

As per ANI, Raut asserted that the upcoming Delhi elections should be determined by governance and performance rather than religious optics. He expressed confidence in Arvind Kejriwal’s leadership, stating that the Delhi Chief Minister’s work for the people will ensure a victory for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). “On the same day, Modi ji is visiting Kumbh to take a holy dip. He believes that the people of Delhi will vote for him on this basis. If voters make decisions based on such factors, democracy is in danger,” Raut said.
