Kangana Ranaut takes swipe at Shiv Sena after Uddhav Thackeray resigns as Maha CM
Mumbai, Jun 30: A day after Uddhav Thackeray resigned as Maharashtra chief minister, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut on Thursday took a dig at the Shiv Sena, saying the pride of people who broke the trust of democracy has been shattered.
Thackeray, 62, resigned Wednesday night, minutes after Supreme Court refused to stay Governor Koshyari's direction to his government to take a floor test in the Assembly on Thursday.
Ranaut, who had a huge run-in with Thackeray's Maha Vikas Aghadi government in 2020, posted a video on Instagram and said that the country is witnessing "the most significant time" since 1975.
"In 1975, JP Narayan had challenged the throne and the thrones had fallen. In 2020, I had said that democracy is about trust. And whoever breaks this trust in arrogance of power, their arrogance is bound to be shattered one day," the 35-year-old actor said.
In the caption for the video, Ranaut said destruction is imminent when evil has taken over. "After that, there is creation. The lotus of life blooms," she added.
The trouble between Ranaut and the Shiv Sena started in September 2020 after the actor said that she feared Mumbai Police more than the "movie mafia" and likened the Maharashtra capital to Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
After that, the Shiv Sena-led BMC demolished "illegal alterations" at her Bandra bungalow.
Ranaut was given Y-plus security by the Centre following her spat with leaders from Shiv Sena.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
