Before his visit to Amravati, supporters of MP Navneet Rana tore down posters of their spouse

On the eve of Uddhav Thackeray’s visit to Vidarbha city, Shiv Sena (UBT) activists in Amravati, Maharashtra, tore down posters of the local MP Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi Rana on Sunday.

Since Sunday, Thackeray has been touring Vidarbha for two days.

The Rana couple had promised to recite the Hanuman Chalisa here in the plaza outside the Girls High School, and their followers had put up posters announcing it.

 

Workers from Ravi Rana’s Yuva Swabhiman Party responded by tearing Thackeray posters that the Shiv Sena (UBT) had erected close to Jaistambh Square and the government guest house, where the former CM is spending the night.

 

Navneet Rana, an Independent MP from Amravati, and Ravi Rana were incidentally detained in April of last year after calling for the Hanuman Chalisa to be recited in front of Matoshree, Thackeray’s private house at the time and the chief minister.

 

Later, they were freed on bond.
