Maharashtra MLA Ravi Rana and independent MP Navneet Kaur have slammed chief minister Uddhav Thackeray for ‘seeking only political gains’ in a growing face-off over the couple’s plan to recite the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ outside ‘Matoshree’, the CM’s Mumbai residence. Ravi Rana accused workers from the ruling Shiv Sena of ‘trying to attack our residence’.
“Police aren’t allowing us to step outside our house. Shiv Sena workers trying to attack our residence…We’ve always considered ‘Matoshree’ as a temple…Uddhav Thackeray only seeking political gains,” Rana said.
Navneet Kaur accused Thackeray of having ‘ordered Sena workers to heckle us’.
“Maharashtra CM ordered Shiv Sena workers to heckle us. They’re breaking the barricades. I’m reiterating that I’ll go outside and will chant Hanuman Chalisa at ‘Matroshree’. CM only knows how to throw people in jail,” she said.
