Amid the second wave of Covid-19, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on May 14 said that the country has a Prime Minister and Home Minister but it is running ‘ram bharose’.

He said, “...There is a Prime Minister, there is a Home Minister, there is an administration, everyone is there, but this country is running ‘ram bharose’. The manner in which horrific scenes are seen on the banks of the Ganges and the Yamuna is a reflection of this... even in Ayodhya, Lord Rama's people are dying without oxygen.”
