Ambani bomb threat: Ranes launch attack on Uddhav Thackeray

Earlier, Devendra Fadnavis had also lashed out at the Thackeray-led MVA government over the entire episode

Mounting a major offensive, the Rane father-son duo demanded the resignation of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in the wake of the planting of Scorpio laden with gelatin sticks near the home of India’s top businessman Mukesh Ambani and the mysterious death of SUV owner Mansukh Hiren.

The attack by BJP’s Rajya Sabha member Narayan Rane and his son and Kankavli MLA Nitesh Narayan Rane comes a day after Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis lashed out at the Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government over the entire episode.

“The arrest of Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Vaze and the shunting out of Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh has exposed the government,” said senior Rane, a former Chief Minister and ex-Leader of Opposition.

“The law and order has collapsed... Uddhav Thackeray must resign as Chief Minister….I feel that he is to be blamed for reinstating Sachin Vaze in the police force given the officer’s past record, the subsequent death of Mansukh Hiren and others… Hence, he must own up moral responsibility and resign,” he added.

Meanwhile, the junior Rane has said that after Fadnavis’s statement it is now clear who is Vaze’s boss. “It’s loud and clear who is Vaze’s political boss! Who asked for his reinstatement in the force during the last government! Who advocated for him during the current Vidhan Sabha and said he is not Osama bin Laden! It’s “Uddhav Thackeray” !!,” he added.
