Political Leaders Across Parties Express Support
Following the Prime Minister’s message, several political figures expressed concern and wished Sanjay Raut a speedy recovery. The Rajya Sabha MP, known for his sharp political commentary and strong party presence, has been an influential voice in Maharashtra politics and national debates.
