Union Minister Narayan Rane has been granted bail after his arrest over controversial remarks against Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
The BJP leader was taken into custody by police in coastal Ratnagiri district, where he is travelling as part of the Jan Ashirwad Yatra, according to a PTI report. Rane was taken to the Sangameshwar police station after being taken into custody.
Superintendent of police (Ratnagiri) Mohit Kumar Garg detained Mr. Rane. The minister is likely to be handed over to the Nashik police.
Reports claimed that Rane complained of high blood pressure and sugar levels and a doctor was called to examine him.
“It is shameful that the chief minister does not know the year of independence. He leaned back to enquire about the count of years of independence during his speech. Had I been there, I would have given (him) a tight slap,” Rane said during his Jan Ashirwad Yatra in adjoining Raigad district on Monday.
