Narayan Rane who sparked off a row over his remarks about “giving a tight slap to Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray” later lodged multiple FIRs in Pune Nashik, Mahad, and other places against the Union minister.
According to the reports, Nashik Police have sent a team to Chipun, where Rane is expected to attend a Janashirwad Yatra on August 24 and they are likely to arrest him. The remarks made by the Union minister has also drawn sharp criticism from Shiv Sena and the party workers have erected posters of Union minister depicting a hen and calling him a hen thief.
But, the BJP leaders defended Narayan Rane saying his language is like late Balasaheb Thackeray so people should understand it. BJP leader Ram Kadam stated that there can be a debate over Narayan Rane’s language, but the state police cannot arrest him. Chandrakant Patil, Maharashtra BJP president stated that he cannot defend the statement made by the Union minister but the state govt police cannot arrest him and this is the language and style of Rane.
