Kangana Ranaut, 38, now a Lok Sabha MP elected from her hometown Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, has reportedly indicated her desire to stay at the CM's luxurious suite at Maharashtra Sadan in the national capital.
On the day of the opening of Parliament, Kangana Ranaut visited the Maharashtra Sadan on Monday and visited almost all the rooms, many of which she found too cramped for her comfort.
Apparently, she liked the CM's spacious and well-appointed suite.
Sanjay Raut, MP and chief spokesperson of Shiv Sena (UBT), criticizing her for seeking the CM's suite, called it absurd and wondered “why she can't stay at Rashtrapati Bhavan instead of looking at Maharashtra Bhavan”.
Seemingly a bit more charitable, former Congress minister Yashomati Thakur dismissively said that since actress Kangana Ranaut is a newly elected MP, she “may ignore protocols in such matters” and therefore could have made the request. .
NCP (SP) national spokesperson Clyde Crasto said that just three years ago, when she had a bitter clash with then MVA CM Uddhav Thackeray, Kangana Ranaut had compared Mumbai and Maharashtra to Pakistan.
"Now suddenly she claims that Maharashtra is like her second home... So why didn't she contest the LS polls of her 'karmabhoomi' instead of her 'janmabhoomi'?" -asked Crastus.
BJP MLA Nitesh N Rane responded to the MVA leaders claiming that they should first answer how many days disgraced ex-cop Sachin Vaze stayed at Uddhav Thackeray's residence.
Rane also attacked the SS (UBT) leader over his comments, saying that Kangana Ranaut is an elected MP unlike Raut, whom he accused of making “a backdoor entry into Parliament through Rajya Sabha.” ”.
Meanwhile, officials caught in the middle of the dispute have pointed out that since Kangana Ranaut is an elected MP from Himachal Pradesh, she should have raised such issues with the Himachal Bhawan authorities instead of Maharashtra Sadan, even as they have diplomatically ignored his plea.
