Maharashtra BJP MLA and Union minister Narayan Rane's son Nitesh Rane has demanded the imposition of President's rule in the state after some Yuva Sena members, who had participated in a protest against the Rane senior, met Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
The Yuva Sena members met the CM on Tuesday night (August 24) at his official residence 'Varsha', hours after they participated in a protest outside Narayan Rane's residence in Mumbai over his remarks against Thackeray, a leader of the Shiv Sena's youth wing had said. Nitesh Rane tweeted a photo shared by Yuva Sena leader Varun Sardesai stating that the core committee members of the Shiv Sena's youth wing (Yuva Sena) had met the chief minister.
"So it was indeed state-sponsored violence just like West Bengal. As the head of the state, the CM should be ensuring safety but he is actually felicitating hooligans. State of affairs in Maharashtra. President's rule is the only way out to ensure safety from these thugs," the Kankavli MLA tweeted.
