The Union Minister Narayan Rane was arrested on Tuesday after three FIRs were registered against him. N Rane was arrested because of his furious comment in which he said that he will slap Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray for what he called his ignorance of the year India won Independence.

The FIR was lodged against him by Sena workers in Nashik, Pune and Raigad districts. It is reported that Rane was taken into custody by police in the coastal Ratnagiri district, where he was travelling as a part of the Jan Ashirwada Yatra. The police official also reported that Rane complained of high blood pressure and sugar level after which a doctor was called immediately to examine him.

Notably, Rane is the first Union Minister to be arrested in 20 years. N Rane joined the Prime Minister led cabinet in July as Minister for micro, small and medium enterprises.

It is reported that Rane could not win the last-minute reprieve from the Bombay High Court, which rejected his urgent hearing on the petition asking for three FIRs against him to be scrapped. The lawyer of N Rane told the court that the police have arrived to arrest him and they are waiting at his doorstep. The court further responded to him that he should follow the procedure, and should not make High Court do the job of the registry.

In the speech, N Rane said that it is shameful that the Chief Minister does not know the year of independence. He further said that if he had been there, he would have given a tight slap.

After this, the clash started erupting as Sena members became furious over it and they started marching towards Rane’s home in Mumbai.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday lashed out at the Congress-JMM coalition over its corruption, saying the alliance is busy selling rivers, streams, and mountains in the state, adding their leaders, in fact, have built houses by smuggling sand. PM Modi alleged that they are taking bribes even for birth and death certificates.

Addressing the rally in Jharkhand’s Gumala, the Prime Minister said: “This is your money, you are its owner and Modi will not let your money be looted.” He added that “those who have looted will have to return it and spend their lives in jail” once his party comes to power in the state.

JMM-Congress have nothing to do with the issue of the people, they are filling their coffers, Modi said.

Hitting out at the alliance, PM Modi said: “You have seen the mountains of notes of the JMM and Congress leaders and ministers. I have been a Chief Minister and even become a Prime Minister, but I have never seen such huge mountains of notes in my life. I saw such mountains for the first time on TV. So many notes came out that the machines got tired of counting them.”

“If you divide into castes then the strength of the tribals will diminish. That’s why I say – if we stay united, we will be safe,” he reiterated his statement targeting the Congress party.

Till there was no unity between OBCs, tribals and Dalits, the Congress kept forming governments at the Centre, claimed Modi.

“Beware of Congress-JMM’s evil designs and conspiracies. They can go to any extent to snatch power. Congress has been an opponent of SC, ST, and OBC unity since Independence,” Modi said.

“More than 125 sub-castes are considered OBCs in the Chotanagpur region. Congress-JMM wants to break the OBC unity by pitting sub-castes against each other. I warn you ‘ek rahoge toh safe rahoge’,” he added. He said a BJP-led government was needed in Jharkhand to drive out infiltrators and eradicate corruption.

Congress chief Kharge slams PM Modi over his red book remarks, says necessary to enroll him in primary school again

On the Prime Minister and BJP equating a red book of the Constitution with urban Naxalism, Kharge said Modi gave a similar copy in 2017 to then President Ram Nath Kovind.

Launching a scathing attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said it was necessary to enroll Modi in a primary school again for his remarks on the red book of the Constitution.

Addressing a press conference after launching the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi ‘s (MVA) manifesto for Maharashtra Assembly elections, Kharge displayed a red book of the Constitution and said it was not blank as was being projected by PM Modi and his party BJP.

”It is necessary to enroll him in a primary school again,” the Congress chief said. Kharge said the red handbook was only used for reference and it was not the entire Constitution.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, NCP-SCP MP Supriya Sule, Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole, Congress National General Secretary KC Venugopal and other leaders of the MVA alliance were also present during the launch of the MVA manifesto.

On the Prime Minister and BJP equating a red book of the Constitution with urban Naxalism, Kharge said Modi gave a similar copy in 2017 to then President Ram Nath Kovind.

The Congress chief also noted that his party’s demand for a caste census is not to divide people, but to understand how various communities are placed at present so that they can get more benefits.

Notably, PM Modi on Saturday termed the act as a testament to Congress’ disregard and hate for Ambedkar and said the red book of the Constitution which was flaunted and distributed by the grand old party contained nothing.

PM Modi was referring to the recent event led by Lok Sabha LoP and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Maharashtra’s Nagpur, where reportedly the books with ‘Constitution of India’ written on the front, containing blank pages except for the preamble on the first page, were distributed.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis recently alleged that Gandhi was trying to seek support from urban Naxals and anarchists by holding a red book in his hand.

Gandhi, who has been demanding quite times for a nationwide caste census and has been displaying an abridged version of the Constitution in a red cover during his rallies, has promised a caste census in Maharashtra also. The Congress ruled Telangana kicked off the caste census in the state on Saturday.

The Congress leader described the MVA’s manifesto as all-inclusive and participatory. Amongst several promises for Maharashtra, Kharge emphasised giving Rs 4,000 monthly stipend to youth seeking jobs.

He said the health insurance scheme of Rs 25 lakh which was started by former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in the state will be implemented in Maharashtra as well.  

“We have decided to do a caste census and we will remove the 50% ceiling on reservation, in line with Tamil Nadu,” he asserted.
