Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said the BJP should ask its leaders about the Sena`s role in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, hitting back at BJP`s Devendra Fadnavis for his comment that there was no Sena leader when the Babri structure in Ayodhya was brought down.

Talking to reporters, Raut claimed the BJP and its "sister concern", alluding to the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, are trying to rake up the issues of recitation of Hanuman Chalisa and Ayodhya to divert attention from issues like unemployment, inflation and the Chinese incursion.
