On Friday,
BJP politician Narayan Rane levelled a severe accusation against Uddhav Thackeray, claiming that the Shiv Sena leader had given the mob bosses Chhota Rajan and Chhota Shakeel a "supari" (contract) to kill him. "A liar, Uddhav Thackeray. Thackeray requested that Sada Saravankar, a Shiv Sena MLA who is now a member of the Shinde faction, target Manohar Joshi's home. In addition, a supari was handed to Chota Rajan and Chota Shakeel to murder me. However, I am still alive and nobody can kill me "Rane, who has criticised Uddhav harshly, made the statement.
"When discussing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Uddhav Thackeray should use caution. Should tomorrow's breakdown of law and order be his fault, "informed Rane. They won't put up with attacks on their leaders, he continued. Rane also attacked the
Shiv Sena rally for Dussehra that was held during the holiday. It was led by Uddhav Thackeray. He criticised Uddhav for criticising political opponents and claimed that Balasaheb Thackeray's ideas and plans for the Shiv Sena were not mentioned. Rane further criticised Thackeray by asking: "What has he accomplished for Marathi society? If he had taken action, he would have revealed the work he had accomplished over the previous 2.5 years."
