Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, was found dead in his Mumbai home on June 14.
Patna:
Signs and banners of Sushant Singh Rajput in Bihar, put up by BJP workers, have sparked an opposition outcry with Congress claiming that the actor’s name was being dragged into politics for election gain. Top BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, who has been tasked with managing the party’s campaign for the Bihar elections, made it clear that the issue was linked to public emotions and that his party would not stop until do justice.
“We do not want to make the death of Sushant Singh Rajput an electoral issue. I was told that I would be working in Bihar long before this case happened. This is related to the emotion of the common man. We will ensure that he receives justice and we will not stop until Justice is served, “the former Maharashtra chief minister told reporters.
“That is why we say, na bhoolenge, na bhoolne denge (We will not forget, we will not let anyone forget) “, he said, referring to the phrase on the posters put up by the BJP cultural unit in Bihar.
Fadnavis was asked if he believed that the Sushant Singh Rajput case, the arrest of Rhea Chakraborty and the Kangana Ranaut controversy would become electoral issues in Bihar, which will soon vote for a new government.
Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, was found dead in his Mumbai home on June 14. Weeks after Mumbai police began investigating the circumstances of what they believed to be suicide, Bihar launched after a case filed in Patna by the actor’s family. State politicians soon demanded justice for “a young and promising son of Bihar.”
Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, a BJP ally, claimed a victory after the Supreme Court confirmed a recommended CBI investigation.
For the BJP, it was also a major victory in Maharashtra, where their ally turned bitter rival Shiv Sena is in power, as the investigation was taken away from the Mumbai police.
In the Shiv Sena, Fadnavis said that the state government “believes that its war against the coronavirus is over and that the only battle left to fight is against actress Kangana Ranaut.”
