Further, he added that the people of Maharashtra were sad on the results and questioned on where the celebrations were on the results.
"The people of Maharashtra are sad about the results. Where is the celebration? Something might have happened at the BJP office or at Eknath Shinde's residence. The results have come but the people are still surprised on how it happened," he said.
Raut also said that the swearing in ceremony shouldn't happen in Maharashtra but at the Modi Stadium in Gujarat.
"The swearing-in ceremony is going to take place tomorrow. I would say that it should not happen in Maharashtra. This government has been brought by the Gujarat lobby, by the traders' association, so the swearing-in ceremony should take place in Modi Stadium in Gujarat. If it is done in Shivaji Park, it will be an insult to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. If you do it in Wankhede Stadium, there is a memorial of the martyrs in front of it, they will be insulted. Therefore, the best place is Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat," Raut said.
