Citing Gautam Buddha, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said on Wednesday, 1 June, that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi drops his ego, several problems in the country will be solved.
"Only one message of Gautam Buddha should be kept in mind and that is to leave the ego. The people who dropped their ego have become victorious (in life). But some people nurture ego. If the ego is set aside, then many issues plaguing society, the state and the country will be solved. Someone should convey this to Narendra Modi," Raut said, as per news agency PTI.
The Sena leader made these statements during the inauguration of the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Sanskrutik Bhavan in Pune.
Sena To Put Up Loudspeakers To Tell People About Party's Work
The Sena MP also cited Hanuman Chalisa while speaking on the upcoming elections to several municipal corporations in the state.
"Hanuman Chalisa should be recited, but people’s problems are also important. Shiv Sena’s corporators work hard to solve many basic issues concerning people, but we didn’t announce this on loudspeakers," Raut said.
However, he added that this time the party would put up loudspeakers to tell people about the Sena's work and its achievements in Maharashtra.
