Mumbai: Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Saturday said Bihar Assembly polls should be contested on developmental and law and order issues.
However, taking a jibe at Bihar government Raut said if the state has exhausted all issues, then issues from Mumbai can be sent as a parcel.
This comes a day after the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the schedule for Bihar Elections, according to which elections will be held in three phases with polling to take place on October 28, November 3 and 7, and the counting of votes to take place on November 10.
"Elections in Bihar should be fought on the issues of development, law and order, and good governance, but if these issues have exhausted, then issues from Mumbai can be sent as a parcel," Raut told ANI.
"The COVID-19 has not eradicated from Bihar. The preparedness for the elections must be informed to voters, how one will be able to cast his votes, and how politicians will be able to do the rally," he added.
Meanwhile, commenting on the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) investigation of a drug case, related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, Raut said, "The probe of the case started about murder and suicide. Now, Narcotics came into the case. Nobody knows where will it go. It is under NCB's jurisdiction to summon anyone to join the probe."
