After Maha Vikas Aghadi’s crushing defeat in the Maharashtra Assembly election, actor-turned-politician and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut launched a scathing attack against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday, calling him “Daitya (monster)” who “met his fate because he disrespected women.”
“I expected such a bad failure of Uddhav Thackeray. We can identify who is a ‘devta (god)’ and who is a ‘daitya (monster)’ depending on if they respect women or work for their welfare,” Ranaut said while speaking to reporters in Mumbai.
Ranaut recalled her clashes with the MVA government, led by Uddhav Thackeray in 2020, when the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation demolished alleged illegal alterations at her Bandra bungalow.
He faced the same fate as “daitya”, the Mandi MP said. “They demolished my house and even used foul words against me, so it was evident that they had lost their sense of right and wrong,” Ranaut added, pointing out that such actions have consequences.
Before the demolition exercise at her bungalow, Ranaut had said she feared the Mumbai Police more than the “movie mafia” and likened the Maharashtra capital to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The BJP-led Mahayuti on Saturday secured a landslide victory in Maharashtra, bagging a whopping 230 of the 288 assembly seats, as the Congress-led MVA’s dream of wresting power fizzled, with the opposition combine managing to garner just 46 seats.
Notably, none of the MVA constituents secured the minimum number of seats mandatory to claim the post of leader of opposition in the assembly.
