Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday blamed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for the poll debacle, calling it a “grave crime” that she did not listen to Rahul Gandhi.

"This is a grave crime by Mamata Didi that she did not listen to Rahul Gandhi. If Mamata Didi had sat down with Rahul Gandhi and discussed the matter, the results would have been different. What Rahul Gandhi said has come true. He is a visionary leader. The elections in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu are stolen..." Raut told reporters in Mumbai.
