He is a member of the Parliament of India representing Maharashtra in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliament.

After the arrest of the two girls who posted and liked a comment on Facebook about their view of Mumbai shutting down after the death of Bala Saheb Thackeray, he justified saying "We support the police's action, the Facebook comments could have led to a law and order situation."[8]
In April 2015, he created controversy by saying the voting rights of Muslims should be revoked for some years to ensure the community is not used for vote bank politics.

This is why Bal Thackeray had demanded that Muslims' voting rights be taken away."[9][10][11][12] Raut was taken into custody and detained by the ED in the Patra Chawl scam case. Sanjay Raut allegedly received funds from Pravin Raut, the main accused of the Rs. 60,000 crores scam.
