Kangana Ranaut eyes next CM in Maharashtra Sadan in Delhi; triggers a verbal duel

Mumbai – Bollywood actress and BJP MP, Kangana RanautThe demand, allegedly aimed at securing the continuation of chief ministers in the Maharashtra Sadan in New Delhi, triggered a war of words between the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi here on Tuesday.

Kangana Ranaut, 38, now a Lok Sabha MP elected from her hometown Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, has reportedly indicated her desire to stay at the CM's palatial suite at Maharashtra Sadan in the national capital.

On the opening day of Parliament, Kangana Ranaut on Monday toured the Maharashtra Sadan, visiting almost all the rooms, many of which she found too cramped for her comfort.

She apparently appreciated the spacious and well-appointed CM suite.

Blaming her for seeking the CM's suite, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP and chief spokesperson Sanjay Raut called it absurd and wondered why she couldn't stay in the Rashtrapati Bhavan instead of looking at the Maharashtra Bhavan.

Seemingly a little more charitable, former Congress minister Yashomati Thakur dismissively said that since actress Kangana Ranaut is a newly elected MP, she may be unaware of the protocols on the matter and hence could have made this plea.

NCP (SP) national spokesperson Clyde Crasto said that barely three years ago, when she had a bitter confrontation with the then MVA CM Uddhav Thackeray, Kangana Ranaut had compared Mumbai and Maharashtra to Pakistan.

Now suddenly she claims that Maharashtra is like her second home. So why didn't she contest the LS polls from her karmabhoomi instead of her janmabhoomi? Crasto asked.

BJP MP Nitesh N Rane hit back at MVA leaders alleging that they should first answer for how many days disgraced ex-cop Sachin Vaze allegedly stayed at Uddhav Thackeray's residence.

Rane also attacked the SS (UBT) leader for his comments, saying Kangana Ranaut is an elected MP unlike Raut who he accused of making a backdoor entry into Parliament through Rajya Sabha.

Meanwhile, officials caught in the middle of the dispute pointed out that since Kangana Ranaut is an elected MP from Himachal Pradesh, she should have raised these issues with the Himachal Bhawan authorities instead of the Maharashtra Sadan, even though they diplomatically dismissed. his plea.
