“If the government had won more than 400 seats in the Lok Sabha elections, the topic of discussion in the Lok Sabha would have been ‘Why is it necessary to change the Constitution.’ In a country where the judiciary and the Election Commission of India are working under the pressure of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and PM Modi, the Constitution is in danger,” Raut added.

Earlier on December 15, Raut launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent speech in the Lok Sabha, questioning his sincerity and commitment to fighting corruption
Raut also criticised the PM’s relation with business magnate Gautam Adani, implying that the Prime Minister’s tolerance of Adani undermines his claims of zero tolerance towards corruption.
“Ask your 56-inch chest, how many corrupt people are around me? He should ask himself. You (PM Modi) are tolerating Adani and he talks about zero tolerance towards corruption. PM Modi never does what he says,” Raut told reporters.
He further accused Maharashtra Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar of being “corrupt,” demanding that PM Modi should remove the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief from the party (alliance).
“He (PM Modi) should remove Ajit Pawar from the party (alliance). He took an oath in your ‘great’ presence…Eknath Shinde is one of the most corrupt leaders and the other 10-12 people who came with him underwent raids by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED). Can you dare to sideline them?” Raut remarked.
