CM snubs Nitesh Rane over inflammatory speeches

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis censured his cabinet colleague and fisheries minister Nitesh Rane on Wednesday, over his recent provocative statements against the minority community. Advising him to exercise restraint, Fadnavis said “ministers need to follow ‘Rajdharma’ propagated by former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, and keep aside personal likes and dislikes”. Amid uproar in the state legislature over the last two days following riots in Nagpur, at the Lokmat Awards function held at Raj Bhavan on Wednesday, NCP leader Jayant Patil asked the CM to respond to Rane’s “explosive language that leads to hatred”, in the presence of Governor CP Radhakrishnan. At the state Assembly, Fadnavis said, “Sometimes young ministers lose their control, but I hold dialogue with them.” On Tuesday, Congress leaders staged a protest on the steps of the Assembly demanding Rane’s ouster, with the party’s leader Vijay Wadettiwar saying that provocative and absurd statements by the minister had led to hatred between two communities and incited conflict. He has called Kerala mini-Pakistan, and also threatened a repetition of Babri masjid of the Aurangzeb’s tomb was not removed.” While there are reports that Fadnavis expressed his displeasure to Rane during their meeting on Tuesday, Rane refuted them and told reporters outside the state assembly he was “one of Fadnavis’s favourite ministers”.
