Maharashtra's Fisheries and Ports Minister Nitesh Rane of the BJP stated on Friday that EVM means "Every Vote Against Mullah" while speaking at a Hindu Garjana Sabha rally in the Sangli district of the state.
Speaking about the equations between the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena and the Congress, Rane said that they were never on good terms and it was the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) which was running the alliance.
Nitesh Rane's lawyer, Nitin Pradhan contended before the court that his client had been cooperating with the investigators and had been questioned for four hours last month.
