Political leaders targeting and making comments on others and facing reciprocation is not new in politics. However, things escalate quickly, sometimes forcing the leaders to think about their actions.
The same happened with Union Minister Narayan Rane, who was recently incorporated in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s new Union Cabinet. His comments against Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had led to his arrest.
Going into details, Narayan Rane had addressed the “Jan Ashirwad Yatra” on Monday and came down severely on Uddhav Thackeray for forgetting the year when we got Independence.
During the yatra, the Union Minister found fault with the Chief Minister over forgetting the years of independence. Saying that the Chief Minister asking for years of independence is shameful, the Minister said that he would have given a slap to the Chief Minister if he had been there.
His comments had kickstarted a big controversy with the Shiv Sena leaders lashing out at the Union Minister over his slap remarks.
As a result, three FIRs under the non-bailable offences were filed against him. When he moved the Bombay High Court, the Court refused to entertain the urgent hearing of his petition.
The Union Minister was directed by the High Court to register his petition with the registry under the under category.
With the High Court said no to issuing interim orders stopping any immediate action against him in this regard, the Union Minister is said to have been arrested in connection with the slap remarks.
Shiv Sena and saffron party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) the former ally parties are targeting each other over the comment row.
Both parties that have been on a fallout with each other since breaking their ties post the General elections in Maharashtra are not leaving any chance to target the other side and the commnet row became one more reason for the parties to fight with.
Narayan Rane is currently holding the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Ministry in Narendra Modi’s revamped Union Cabinet. In the last two decades no seving Union Minister was arrested and it seems like the BJP leader had broken the record.
