Mumbai, Oct 5 (TIWN) A day after an AIIMS report said that Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput had committed suicide, the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party and ruling ally Congress in Maharashtra were locked in a bitter political dogfight over the issue on Sunday.

However, the Congress state spokesperson Sachin Sawant hit back saying “even after falling flat on its face, the BJP was attempting to keep its legs in the air, their face is blackened but they are trying to show their hands are clean”.

Attempting to turn the tables, Sawant said the Maharashtra government has written to the NCB to probe the state BJP’s “drugs links”, and why or whom one of the involved persons Ssandip Singh had called in the BJP office 53 times.

“There is no connection at all between the drugs probe and Sushant’s death. The BJP has been completely exposed in this as the state government has written to the NCB to probe and unravel the BJP’s drug-connections. Why did former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis do nothing about this for five years?” Sawant countered.
