Rane, in a series of tweets in Marathi on Thursday, said, “Sharad Pawar is threatening the (rebel) MLAs that they should come to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. They will definitely come and vote as per their will. If any harm comes to them, it will be difficult to go home.”
“The MVA was formed to serve personal interests. Nobody should boast about its work,” said Rane, a former Shiv Sena leader who quit and joined the Congress in 2005 and later crossed over to the BJP.
Pawar had formed the NCP in 1999 after quitting Congress. He had quit Congress earlier too but had returned.
Rane, meanwhile, also said that Eknath Shinde was his “old colleague and a friend.” Going by the number of MLAs Shinde has with him, the “roadshow organised by the Chief Minister” (Uddhav Thackeray) on Wednesday evening was nothing but “cowardice and selfishness,” the BJP leader said.
