BJP MLA Nitesh Rane has criticised Shiv Sena (UBT) chief and former chief minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray by comparing him with Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, and alleging that he and his team are tyrants and have “broken the morale” of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).
Rane, who has always remained at the forefront of attacking Shiv Sena (UBT) and Uddhav, has raised several issues regarding corruption in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which was then led by Shiv Sena (UBT).
Taking to social media, Rane said, “Who took away six corporators of the MNS? Who forced Rajsaheb (Raj Thackeray) to snap ties with Balasaheb? Who destroyed Saheb’s other family members? Now, he is talking about relations when he can see that jail is inevitable. So, who is the real Aurangzeb?” He was referring to Uddhav’s politics of taking away six corporators of MNS in the past and alienating late Balasaheb Thackeray from his other family members.
Rane also hinted at the possibility that Aditya Thackeray, former minister in the MVA government and son of Uddhav Thackeray, might be jailed.
Rane’s comments came after former mayor and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Kishori Pednekar was booked by the Economic Offence Wing allegedly in connection with a corruption case. Rane said Uddhav fears that his son Aditya would also face the same fate and go to jail.
Other leaders of Uddhav’s camp, including Ravindra Wairkar and MP Sanjay Raut, have been questioned in a corruption case and jailed and released on bail. Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab has also been on the radar of the investigating agencies for a long time.
Recently, Uddhav attacked Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis in his speech, and accused him of creating “bitterness” in Maharashtra state politics.
