Time for Sena to close shop,says Rane

About Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi’s Mumbai visit and Shiv Sena’a threats,Rane said,”They (Sena) are not strong enough to stop Rahul from roaming freely in Mumbai. Despite the Sena’s appeal to its own workers,not more than 100 people were seen protesting on Mumbai streets.”

The minister said,”Shiv Sene madhye kahich dum nahi. (Shiv Sena does not have the guts). Somebody should tell Uddhav Thackeray to close down the shop once and for all,as it has become completely powerless.” He asked if the party was left with any sainiks (workers).

Earlier,on Thursday,Rane had said that the Shiv Sena’s almost finished and was facing an existential crisis. “The Sena and MNS are raking up the issue of Marathi manoos just for votebank politics. Uddhav should stop behaving as if he owns Mumbai,” he had said.
