BJP's "Narayan Rane Is A Dog", Says Shiv Sena MLA

In an alleged warning to Union minister Narayan Rane, Shiv Sena MLA Santosh Bangar also said, "We have the strength to come and bash you at your house."

Amid a row over Union minister Narayan Rane's remarks against Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, a Shiv Sena MLA has attacked the former, saying that he is a "dog" kept by the BJP to attack others, but would ultimately bite his own party. Sena MLA Santosh Bangar, who represents Kalamnuri Assembly constituency in Hingoli district of Maharashtra, made the remarks in his home district on Tuesday night on the sidelines of a protest against Mr Rane. The legislator also called Mr Rane a dog of "pug" breed. "Narayan Rane is not a human being, he is a dog. He is an offspring of pug dog. He was rejected by the people of Konkan and Mumbai. Now 'Beimaan Janata Party' (referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party) has domesticated this dog to attack others. But I want to tell the BJP that it should beware of this dog as it will bite you...He could never belong to anyone, so how can he be yours?" Mr Bangar, who is also Sena's district president, alleged.
