Supporting West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee for opposing the presence of Opposition party in the review meeting of Cyclone Yaas chaired by PM Narendra Modi, Raut said, "The differences between Centre and Mamata di's opinions are not new. However, this time, I agree with her. She raised the point that as to why an opposition leader was called up in the meeting when no opposition leader was present in any other state's Cyclone-related review meeting."

Following this, she left for her pre-scheduled meeting at Digha.
The Shiv Sena leader also spoke upon the recent bribery case of the Maharashtra Transport Minister, l Parab.
