Claim
Sanjay Raut says the BJP is addicted to splitting parties and no party has been spared.
“संजय राउत तो कह रहे हैं कि बीजेपी को फूट डालने का बहुत नशा है कोई पार्टी नहीं बची।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The anchor's claim is an attribution: that Sanjay Raut said the BJP is addicted ('nasha') to splitting parties and has spared no party. Wire-agency (ANI) and Hindi media reports from late June and early July 2026, immediately before the 2026-07-02 broadcast, confirm Raut said almost exactly this at a press conference — that the BJP has an 'intoxication' for breaking parties and won't spare anyone. The anchor accurately reported Raut's statement; whether Raut's own allegation about the BJP is true is a separate political opinion not asserted as fact by the anchor.
