‘Urdu Speakers Are Green Snakes, Mumbai DNA is Hindu’: Minister Sparks Row With Controversial Remark

Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane is once again in the eye of a political storm. At an event in Mumbai, Rane declared that “people with round caps and beards didn’t vote for him” and claimed “the DNA of Mumbai is Hindu.” His remarks come amid an ongoing debate over the usage of Marathi and alleged selective targeting in language-related incidents. Rane accused the Raj Thackeray-led MNS of inaction against a Sheikh allegedly involved in a viral harassment case and questioned why rules are only imposed on Hindus. Referring to Urdu speakers as “green snakes,” he claimed they are appeased while Hindus are targeted. #niteshrane #hinduvotebank #maharashtrapolitics #mnscontroversy #marathidebate #communalpolitics #urducontroversy #greenSnakeComment #mumbaipolitics #capandbeard #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
