Rane’s shocking claim: Uddhav didn’t want Aaditya’s name in Disha case

MUMBAI: Former chief minister and BJP MP Narayan Rane on Saturday accused Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray of calling him twice when the latter was chief minister, to ask him not to include his son Aaditya Thackeray in the Disha Salian death case.

Disha Salian case

"Thackeray called me twice to ask his son Aaditya not to be named in the Disha Salian case. Milind Narvekar (Shiv Sena-UBT leader) called me once and Thackeray himself talked to me on the phone. He told me we need not involve each other's children in our politics," Rane informed the media. He said the second call was when he had asked Thackeray for a nod for his medical College in Sindhudurg. BJP MLA and former chief minister Narayan Rane on Saturday accused Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray of having called him twice while the latter was the chief minister, to ask him not to mention his son Aaditya Thackeray in the case of the death of Disha Salian.

Leader Aaditya Thackeray

Reacting to Rane's charges, Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray stated, "I have not been listening to such garbage for the past 16 years. These individuals are being paid to make filthy charges against me. They had charged my father, my family and the party. They quit the party nearly 20 years ago but they have still not moved on. Let them speak as much as they wish."
