The BJP has called Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut the "joker of Indian politics" over his post on X questioning the West Bengal election outcome and addressing US President Donald Trump.

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla alleged that Raut and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi make such statements to besmirch India's image for domestic political reasons.
