Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and BJP MP Narayan Rane sparked controversy during his visit to Rajkot Fort in Malvan, Sindhudurg, on Wednesday, August 28, when he angrily snatched a microphone from ABP Majha journalist Amol More. Rane, who was at the site to review the collapsed Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue, lost his cool when asked a question by the reporter. The incident occurred amid heightened tensions as Rane’s supporters clashed with those of Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray, who was also visiting the site. The situation escalated into a face-off, with slogans exchanged before police intervened. The Mumbai Press Club condemned Rane’s actions, calling for respect towards journalists.
