Maha Opposition seeks Minister Nitesh Rane‘s ouster over controversial remarks

The Opposition on 18 March, Tuesday staged a protest on the entrance of the Maharashtra legisliative meeting demanding the elimination of BJP minister Nitesh Rane from the cupboard for “spreading hatred.”

The legislators from Congress, Shiv Sena(UBT) and NCP(SP) raised slogans like “Dangal Nako, Shantata Havi (Don’t need riots, need peace)” and “Shantata Priya Maharashtra Hava, Dangal Mukt Maharashtra Hava (Need peaceable Maharashtra, riot free Maharashtra)”.

Congress Legislature Get together chief Vijay Wadettiwar stated, ”Nagpur is a really peaceable metropolis, but it surely has been attacked by pro-ruling organisations. All that is due to a minister within the cupboard who made absurd and provocative statements. The chief minister ought to instantly take away this minister from the cupboard. Deliberate efforts are being made to unfold hatred and incite battle between the 2 communities and that is being performed by the ruling alliance. Nagpur residents ought to preserve peace and make sure that no untoward incident happens.”

He additional said, “It’s an unlucky incident that arson and stone-pelting occurred in a peaceable metropolis like Nagpur. For the previous few days, a minister within the cupboard has been continuously fiddling and his statements have induced a dispute between two communities. If this minister had been stopped in time, this time wouldn’t have come. It’s unlucky that this incident occurred within the dwelling district of the chief minister, who can be the House Minister, and motion must be taken in opposition to whoever is chargeable for this.”
