BJP says Rane exit clear indicator of Cong losing trust

With Narayan Rane quitting Congress and minister of state for agriculture Sadabhau Khot launching his new political outfit Rayat Kranti Sanghatana, the BJP is elated.

State unit chief spokesperson Madhav Bhandari said that Rane leaving Congress is a clear indiction that party-men are losing trust in Congress leadership. Bhandari said that it also means the Congress is not in a position to save its "own burning house".

Bhandari also reacted to MNS' criticism that the bullet train was aimed at snatching Mumbai away from Maharashtra, and said, "The BJP does not feel that we should take Raj Thackeray seriously since people of Maharashtra also do not take him seriously."
