In his letter, Sanjay Raut stated that people like Rane who use objectionable language do not deserve to be in the Union Cabinet.
"The words used by Narayan Rane for Maharashtra Chief Minister during his press conference are condemnable. People like him, who do not know their limits and use such objectionable language, do not deserve to be in the Cabinet. This is an insult to our Prime Minister as well," he said in his letter.
As per the information, the police has registered a case under sections 500, 505 (2), 153B (1)c of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) based on the complaint filed by Nashik Shiv Sena chief.
"I have not committed any crime. Is it not a crime if someone doesn't know about August 15? I had said that I would have slapped - these were the words and it's not a crime," Narayan has said.
