In reaction to Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut`s statements on electoral bonds, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pravin Darekar emphasised payments made by a gaming firm to Tamil Nadu`s ruling party, the DMK, which is a member of the opposition`s INDIA bloc.

Raut had previously expressed concerns about online lottery gambling in Maharashtra and questioned the BJP`s relationship with Future Gaming, stating that the company made large donations to the party, reported ANI.
