Rane had started his political career with Shiv Sena, and was even made the Chief Minister for time being, but then left the party.

He reportedly left due to a feud with Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray.

Ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections, several leaders from the Congress, as well as the NCP, joined either the BJP or the Shiv Sena.

This development may cause a strain in the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance.

BJP has pushed the country into a financial emergency: Congress

TestHostEntry

New Delhi | The Congress on Friday has hit out at the Modi government for “forcefully taking” money from the RBI, and claimed that they have pushed the country into a financial emergency.

The Reserve Bank of India had on Monday approved the transfer of a record Rs 1.76 lakh crore dividend and surplus reserves to the government, boosting the BJP-led regime’s slowing economy without widening the fiscal deficit.

“RBI’s emergency fund is at a six-year low as the BJP government has forcefully taken Rs 1,76,000 crore from the RBI to hide its failures and grave economic slowdown,” Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala tweeted, tagging a media report on the central bank’s emergency fund.

“The BJP government has pushed the country into a financial emergency,” he said.

In another tweet, he shared more media reports and wrote, “Bank Frauds up by 74%! 2017-18 – ₹41,167 Cr 2018-19 – ₹71,542 Cr ‘Loot & Scoot’ in ‘New India’ as a complicit BJP Govt looks the other way and the common man is taxed!”.

According to the RBI annual report, the number of cases of frauds reported by banks saw a jump of 15 per cent year-on-year basis in 2018-19, with the amount involved increasing by 73.8 per cent to Rs 71,543 crore from Rs 41,167 crore reported in the previous fiscal.
