Navneet Rana and Ravi Rana sparked yet another controversy but this time in Maharashtra’s Nagpur.
After the conflicts with the Shiv Sena workers over chanting of Hanuman Chalisa at the residence of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, the couple faced similar charges this time.
Banners of Ranas reciting Hanuman Chalisa at the Ramnagar Hanuman temple were put up right in front of the NCP office in Nagpur.
The NCP activists, led by state vice-president Prashant Pawar, set up a stage near the temple for chanting of ‘Sundarkand’ to counter Ranas.
A heavy police were deployed at the temple premises and only after dispersal of the NCP workers after they did Aarati and chanted ‘Sundarkand’, the Rana couple was allowed to visit the temple after 2.10 p.m.
A tensed atmosphere was palpable but no untoward incident took place during the “pujas” by both the sides.
