Mumbai, Apr 5: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said that the state is witnessing a spike in Covid-19 cases due to extensive testing on a large scale. He was addressing the media here on Sunday, April 4.
"The main reason behind a large number of Covid-19 patients in Maharashtra is that the testing is being conducted on a large scale. That is not happening in other states. For that Maharashtra is being appreciated, even the world is appreciating us," said Raut.
Upon being questioned on the possibility of lockdown in the state, the Shiv Sena MP said, "Nobody likes lockdown. Even the chief minister and the prime minister do not like it but some decisions have to be taken in case of emergency. Sometimes tough decisions have to be taken for the security of the country and the state." He urged all the political parties to come together and cooperate with the government.
