Union minister Narayan Rane alleges murder plot by Uddhav Thackeray

MUMBAI: Union minister Narayan Rane on Wednesday alleged that Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray had attempted to offer contracts for his assassination.
During a press conference in Mumbai, the BJP MP made accusations against Thackeray, claiming that while he served as the chief minister of Maharashtra (from November 2019 to June 2022), he was involved in corrupt practices in the procurement of Covid-19 medicines.
"Uddhav Thackeray had tried to give contracts to kill me. I used to receive calls from those people (who were given the contracts) warning me about it. Uddhav tried to give 'supari' (contract) to many people to kill me, but none of them could ever touch me. Some of them even warned me that they were being contacted for such supari," he claimed.
Rane, a former Shivsainik, also launched a personal attack on Thackeray, a day after the latter termed Maharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis a "worthless" chief minister.
