Your presence in Maharashtra will become insignificant: Sanjay Raut hits back at Narayan Rane for West Bengal remark

Union minister Narayan Rane said he will not “allow” Maharashtra to turn into West Bengal on Wednesday. 

New Delhi: Amid the ongoing tussle between Shiv Sena and BJP, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday (August 26) slammed Union minister Narayan Rane for his 'won't let Maharashtra become West Bengal' statement.  Taking a jibe at the BJP, Raut reminded the saffron party that it lost the recent West Bengal Assembly elections where Mamata Banerjee’s TMC came back to power with a thumping victory. Further, he said that if BJP leaders keep on using such language, they will soon become insignificant in Maharashtra, ANI reported.  “What does the 'won't let Maharashtra become West Bengal' statement (by Narayan Rane) mean? You (BJP) lost in West Bengal. If you keep on using same language, your presence in Maharashtra will also become insignificant. West Bengal is the tiger of the country,” Sanjay Raut was quoted as saying by the news agency.
