TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ The Shiv Sena on Wednesday claimed Union minister Narayan Rane has made the central government hang its head in shame, a day after the BJP leader was arrested over his controversial remarks against Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah must take Rane’s remarks against CM Thackeray seriously, an editorial in the Sena mouthpiece Saamana said. On Monday, during his ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ in adjoining Raigad district, Rane said, “It is shameful that the chief minister does not know the year of independence. He leaned back to enquire about the count of years of independence during his speech. Had I been there, I would have given (him) a tight slap.”
The Union MSME minister was arrested on Tuesday over his comments which triggered a political row and protests across Maharashtra. He was granted bail by a court at Mahad in Raigad late Tuesday night. In a scathing attack on Rane over his remarks, the editorial in Saamana likened him to a “balloon with holes”, which, it said, will never go up no matter how much the BJP tries to fill it with air. Despite being given the post of a Union minister, Rane has been behaving like a “roadside gangster”, it alleged.
