BJP's Nitesh Rane Fires Fresh Salvo At Uddhav Thackeray, Compares Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief With Aurangzeb

Mumbai: BJP MLA Nitesh Rane criticised Shiv Sena (UBT) chief and former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray by comparing him with Mughal King Aurangzeb. He alleged that Uddhav and his team are tyrants and now they fear legal action against their misdeeds.

Nitesh has always remained at the forefront of attacking Shiv Sena (UBT) and Uddhav Thackeray. He has raised many issues of corruption in BMC which was led by Shiv Sena (UBT).

Taking to social media, Nitesh said “Who took away six corporators of the MNS party? Who forced Rajsaheb (Thackeray) to snap ties with Balasaheb (Thackeray)? 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 Thackeray’s politics of breaking the morale of MNS by taking away six corporators in the past and alienating late Balasaheb Thackeray from his other family members. Nitesh also hinted a possibility that Aditya, former minister in the MVA government might be jailed.
