Pune, Jan 29: BJP MLA Nitesh Rane told a Hindu Jan Aakrosh gathering in Solapur that he would back their aggression to the hilt and to not fear the police since his "boss" stays in "Sagar Bungalow", the official residence of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Fadnavis, a senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader, holds the home portfolio in the Eknath Shinde government.
At the rally in temple town Pandharpur on Sunday, Rane told the gathering he had come to stand by the Hindu community and that they must work without any fear of police action.
"We have not come here to interfere in anyone's work. I want to tell all 'jihadis' to stay where you are and not confront us because we have been taught in our religion how to wipe you out," Rane said.
"If any policeman messes with you just because you are a Hindu, then slap him across the face. I am assuring you we are with you. The government is with you," the Kankavli MLA said.
"I can give you this confidence in front of the police that no can mess with me as our boss is sitting in Sagar Bungalow," Rane said referring to Fadnavis.

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
