Maharashtra government minister and BJP leader Nitish Rane has hit back at Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut's statement on Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Responding to Sanjay Raut's statement, he targeted former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Nitish Rane alleged that Sanjay Raut should look at the role of Uddhav Thackeray before comparing Amit Shah with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. He said that he sees the role of Dawood Ibrahim in Uddhav Thackeray itself.
Nitish Rane alleged that Uddhav Thackeray is doing the same work in Mumbai, which underworld don Dawood Ibrahim used to do. After his statement, the war of words between the ruling BJP and Shiv Sena (UBT) in Maharashtra has intensified. Nitesh Rane has been in the news many times before because of his statements.

He also raised questions on Sanjay Raut's statement of 'regime change' and criticized the politics of opposition leaders and said, 'Right now Sanjay Raut might have been working in cleaning garbage in Sabarmati jail but perhaps he forgot that Dawood Ibrahim and Uddhav Thackeray are the same. Now we see Dawood only in Uddhav Thackeray. Your own leaders went into the role of David. Right now there is no need for Dawood to come here because his work is being done by Uddhav Thackeray.
