On his first visit to Bihar after assuming charge as the BJP election in-charge in Bihar, former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death is not a poll issue, but his party “would not rest till Rajput gets justice”.
“The way Sushant’s case was going on, no one thought of justice. This is not an election issue, this is a common man’s issue. The BJP will not remain silent till justice is done,” he said.
Fadnavis said there was no difference in the NDA over seat adjustment for the forthcoming assembly elections.
“LJP is with the NDA and all three allies will contest elections together,” he said.
