'When Did You Become Congress Spokesperson?': Pune BJP Leader Jagdish Mulik's Dig At Sanjay Raut

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Vadgaonsheri MLA Jagdish Mulik on Friday took a dig at Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut over his comments on the exit poll results.

Raut said, "Since 2014, BJP has declared 'Congress-free India'. But along with Congress' Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge broke the sweat of those proclaiming 'Congress-free India'. Congress will be in power in four states (Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhatisgarh and Telenagana) and in Mizoram, Congress will be in government along with regional parties."

Taking a dig at Raut, Mulik took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, "When did you become Congress spokesperson? We thought that you are only the spokesperson of 'leftover' Sena. Your workload seems to have increased!"
