On January 26, the Shiv Sena leader had termed the violence during a tractor rally taken out by farmers in Delhi as national shame which stained their protest against the new agri laws. "The Centre too will have to take responsibility for the developments," he had said.
Speaking to media Raut had said it is the arrogance of the central government which has led to the deteriorating situation in Delhi and asked it to introspect as to why the law and order in the national capital collapsed.
