'Mumbai's DNA is Hindu'

According to news agency ANI, Nitesh Rane, a BJP minister in the Maharashtra government, said that people wearing round caps and beards did not vote for me. I became an MLA with the votes of Hindus.

Rane also lashed out at Thackeray brothers

In this program, he also targeted Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray. He said that just like banned organizations like PFI and SIMI try to break the society, these two brothers are also doing the same. During this, Nitesh Rane also mentioned PFI and SIMI and said that just like they work against the concept of Hindu nation, Thackeray brothers are also working in the same way.
