In fresh war of words, Kangana calls Uddhav Thackeray ‘worst product of nepotism’

MUMBAI: Hitting back at Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray for his comments at a rally, actor Kangana Ranaut on Monday described him as “the worst product of nepotism” and said her state Himachal Pradesh is the land of the gods not ‘ganja fields’.
The actor, who has been vocal about her criticism of the State Government’s handling of the investigation into actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death and labelled Bollywood a drug haven, lashed out against Thackeray a day after his Dussehra address.
Ranaut said Thackeray had abused her in his speech by calling her ‘namak haraam’. “As a chief minister, you have let down an entire state only because you are angry with a woman who is of your son’s age. You were very angry with me when I compared Mumbai with (Pok) after I was threatened because slogans of ‘Free Kashmir’ were raised there. Your ‘Sonia Sena’ had defended all that, that’s why I had compared it with PoK,” she said in the video. The actor said Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut had abused her and now it was Thackeray.
“Shame on you, I am your son’s age. This is how you speak to a self-made single woman. Chief Minister, you are the worst product of nepotism.” She also took umbrage at Thackeray’s reference to ‘ganja fields’ in Himachal Pradesh and said it is actually ‘dev bhoomi’, land of the gods.
“What I want to tell you is: governments come and go. You are just a government servant and the people of Maharashtra are not happy with you. Governments come and go but if a person loses respect, he can’t get it back,” she said. (AGENCIES)
