I have no regrets, haven’t committed any crime: Narayan Rane on controversial remarks about Uddhav Thackeray

Rane said, “I urge the media to verify the news on TV or else I will file a case for news based on speculations. Do you think I am a normal (ordinary) person?”

On Monday during his Jan Ashirwad Yatra in Raigad, Rane said, “It is a shame CM Uddhav Thackeray does not know the year of India’s Independence Day. During his address, CM leaned to his side to enquire about the year of Independence day. Had I been there, I would have given him a tight slap.”

The Union minister’s sharp remark against Thackeray led to tensions with Shiv Sena coming out on the streets to protest. Rane followers also gathered outside his residence to counter the Sena workers.
