Mumbai: Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut has called Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray ‘petty, vengeful, myopic and ill-informed’.
The latest attack from the actor came close on the heels of the CM making distasteful remarks against Kangana’s home state Himachal Pradesh.
In his Dussehra speech, Uddhav Thackeray said that the actor had slandered Mumbai by comparing it to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
“They don’t know in our house we grow tulsi, not ganja. Ganja fields are in your state,” he said adding that the they were burning symbolic Ravan with ten faces, while one Ravan face says Mumbai is PoK.
Retorting to this, Ranaut, in a series of tweets, said that Himachal is also called “Dev Bhumi” as it has a maximum number of temples.
“Chief Minister you are a very petty person, Himachal is called Dev Bhumi it has the maximum number of temples also no zero crime rate, yes it has a very fertile land it grows apples, kiwis, pomegranate, strawberries one can grow anything here,” Kangana Ranaut said. Kangana later corrected the typo ‘no zero crime’ and added that she is overwhelmed by the open bullying by a working so and hence the mistake.
In another tweet, Kangana Ranaut said, “You being a leader having such a vengeful, myopic and ill informed views about a state which has has been the abode of Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati along with many great saints like Markandya and Manu Rishi, Pandavas spent large part of their exile in Himachal Pardesh”
“You should be ashamed of yourself chief minister, being a public servant you are indulging in petty fights, using your power to insult, damage and humiliate people who don’t agree with you, you don’t deserve the chair you have acquired by playing dirty politics. SHAME,” she said adding that
In the final tweet, Kangana Ranaut said, “Just how beauty of Himalayas belongs to every Indian, opportunities that Mumbai offers too belongs to each one of us, both are my homes, Uddhav Thackeray don’t you dare to snatch our democratic rights and divide us, your filthy speeches are a vulgar display of your incompetence.”
