Following Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut`s reservations about the BJP`s victories in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh assembly elections, Maharashtra Minister of Relief and Rehabilitation Anil Bhaidas Patil responded, urging Raut to respect the people`s mandate, stated a report in ANI. 

According to the report, earlier on Monday, Raut questioned the victories, suggesting that elections be held on paper to allay fears, especially after the BJP`s victories over the Congress in the aforementioned states.
