"If we want to reach the real criminals, then Suresh Dhas is enough. Dhas will not speak without the blessings of Fadnavis. Devendra Fadnavis also wants to dismantle the terrorism going on in Beed. The day we feel that something different is happening behind the scenes, we will definitely speak about it," Mr Raut said.
