Rana couple and advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte fell into their own pit?

Rana couple and advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte fell into their own pit? 2

Rana couple and advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte were very much overconfident in their acts. They thought they would succeed in their motives but the government has smartly caged them by lodging one after another complaint. If media reports have to be believed, advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte gulped lakhs of rupees of striking MSRTC workers under the pretext of helping them. He has taken Rs 550 from each MSRTC worker and this way collected Rs 1.8 crore. He enjoyed many lavish vacations, cars, new properties and lavish parties at the cost of MSRTC workers’ hard-earned money by misleading them against the state government. He never allowed the protestors to settle their grievances with ruling party leaders and bring harmony. Actually, his motive was to create unrest and support the opposition party’s agenda.

Similarly, Mr and Mrs Rana, both are politicians of Maharashtra. They should have shown their mature side for the welfare of the people, but again, to support the political motives of the opposition party ahead of Municipal elections, they staged drama to tress-pass straight into Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s house to recite Hanuman Chalisa. That created chaos in Mumbai. People took to the street; it was a riot-like situation. But they both also failed in their stunts. When a sinner escapes by performing sinful deeds, they feel that there is no one to punish them, but there is a trap of law. Karma keeps an account of every immorality. When the pitcher is full by some means and manifestation, one has to pay for those wicked deeds.

Advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte exceeded all his limits by inciting violence outside Sharad Pawar’s residence, he made a WhatsApp call to someone in Nagpur the same afternoon and received a message from that person saying ‘Reporters Pathva’ (‘Send reporters’). He made a full proof plan, that day he got himself engaged in the court attending some cases. On the other hand, asked people to reach Pawar’s house and hurl chappals and stones. He thought he could depress the Maharashtra government. We all know mobs have no face but behind every mob violence there is one mind. He took the state government for granted and finally got caught. Finally, a session’s court granted bail to advocate Gunaratan Sadavarte and over 110 protesting workers of the MSRTC. The advocate will have to furnish a bond of Rs. 50,000, while other detained workers, that of Rs. 10,000 each, as per the court’s order.

By now MSRTC workers also understood the plot of Gunaratna Sadavarte. No one likes jail and punishment in any circumstances. In the meantime, phones he used before April were destroyed. Now police have to find out who is the person in Nagpur whose name has been disclosed in his call records and who sent a message to Sadavarte through WhatsApp since all other calls are normal calls, while this call to Nagpur is a WA call and the message had also been received from this number on WhatsApp. The pestering will not end here, there are multiple cases registered against him. He has one after another case to deal with.

After some time, Sadavarte will become irrelevant or he will mind his ways. His fame has already faded with his jail tour, his so-called supporters and MSRTC workers gone disheartened and most of them could not take this disloyalty. Likewise, Navneet Rana enjoyed media attention for a few days. She made headlines and gained some popularity. The IT cell was tirelessly promoting her agenda. This lady, being a member of parliament, made the mockery of the law and order situation in the state. She thought she would become a blue-eyed woman of right wing loud speakers, but sadly seeing the worst of her lifetime. Lady who walked in jail in a starched saffron saree is now seen in plain clothes and a pale face. All her arrogance shrivelled in the jail walls. She thought she would be scot free with the help of opposition support, but Mumbai police know how to tighten the snooze.

The Home Ministry sought a “factual report” from the Maharashtra government on Rana’s allegation about her arrest and “inhuman treatment” at Mumbai’s Khar police station. Navneet Rana’s allegations about her arrest and “inhumane treatment” has been brutally exposed by the police. People have now clearly understood her motives, those media houses following and publishing every verbal dribble of her, now slating her. The lawmaker couple has been charged with sedition besides promoting enmity, and assaulting a public servant to prevent discharge of duty. Sadavarte Advocate, protester, BJP supporter – a three-in-one face in MSRTC row now has to find some other topic to sustain media space, also Rana Couple who are chanting Hanuman Chalisa in their respective jail barracks, needs to have a reality check.


There won’t be President’s Rule in Maharashtra

There won’t be President's Rule in Maharashtra 4

Shiv Sena workers in Mumbai took to the roads to guard their leader Uddhav Thackeray against the drills of Independent MP Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi Rana. There was an attack on the SUV of former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya. The attack was so intended that one can make out it was not from outside forces. Reacting to all these attacks, opposition leader Devendra Fadnavis said that the people of Maharashtra feel there should be President’s rule in the state. BJP cannot demand the president’s rule because they know what happened to them in the past by calling for President Rule. Knowing the repercussions, Devendra Fadnavis clarified the BJP will not demand the same.

Meanwhile, MP Navneet Rana made a Facebook post stating that she recited Hanuman Chalisa in jail 101 times. My advice is that she should recite it a thousand times, to seek pardon from Lord Hanumana. She had many options to express her devotion to God. She could have gone to some other leader’s home or some public place to recite Hanuman Chalisa, but she chose CM’s house to create controversy. This deliberate attempt to bring turmoil was uncalled for.

Shiv Sena is not just a political party, but an ideology deeply rooted in the soil and soul of Maharashtra. Local leaders of Shiv Sena are stronger, more experienced and popular. Raj is a better orator, but he is arrogant, and never worked on ground level. Uddhav is better at party organisation; he has excellent communication skills, directly connects with people and speaks his heart out. The hard-core followers of Shiv Sena who believe in the Ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray will not switch their loyalties. MNS is a sinking ship; those who joined Raj Thackeray earlier had left him within no time. Most of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena’s leaders, who were with him at the time of inception, have disowned him due to his whimsical slant.

If BJP can think of coming to power by aligning with NCP, why can’t Uddhav gain power? Although critics of Shiv Sena thought Uddhav is naïve in politics and has no administrative experience, he would be a puppet in the hands of the more experienced Sharad Pawar, so far Uddhav Thackeray has not yielded to the veteran senior Maratha politician on any policy matter and has further clarified that joining a coalition with the Congress and the NCP, did not mean that Shiv Sena would also abandon of its Hindutva agenda, the core philosophy of the party. He has conducted himself fairly well as CM of Maharashtra till now. Uddhav Thackeray would continue to lead the Shiv Sena and Maharashtra for quite some time.

Uddhav Thackeray continues to walk on this path, sticking to his Hindutva agenda but treating every section of society fairly and equally. Shiv Sena became more acceptable to even voters of Hindutva and get back its vote base from the BJP. The fallout between the Shiv Sena and the BJP was more of an ego clash. Well! If BJP has its self-image so the Shiv Sena has its unique status. Instead of accepting the defeat, BJP sulked and interrupted the ruling government.  When Shiv Sena was in alliance with BJP, they turned a blind eye to all those issues which they raked in the recent past. Or are they okay with all those corruption charges if Shiv Sena makes an alliance with BJP?

Navneet Rana, who prompted demonstrations in Maharashtra, is the close aid of Baba Ramdev. We all know how Baba Ramdev helped the BJP government come to power in 2014 by creating anger against Congress and then the UPA government by making all false charges. Recently he was seen in a video lashing out at a reporter when asked about his comment a few years ago about petrol prices coming down to Rs 40 if the government changed in 2014. The reporter questioned Ramdev about his assurance that petrol and LPG costs would come down if people voted the incumbent (Congress) out of power. Ramdev was fuming with anger because he and his political bosses both could not keep their promises. BJP tried its level best to harass Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s husband under the pretext of corruption, but they failed to prove alleged corruption charges against Vadra and Gandhi.

Navneet Rana is a disciple of Baba Ramdev and we all have seen how Baba helped BJP by creating anger against Congress. Rana is trying the same trick in Maharashtra, but she is dumped in jail. I wish UPA would have done the same with Baba Ramdev, today people of India wouldn’t have been deceived. Baba Ramdev is Navneet’s Yog Guru and her mentor. It was Baba Ramdev who launched Navneet Kaur to her husband Ravi Rana and has performed a major function in setting the couple up. Someone has additionally reported that each Navneet and Ravi Rana search Baba Ramdev’s reference whereas making any main private or skilled resolution in life. Playing destructive politics is one of the prime-time skills that the couple has learned for Baba Ramdev.

Baba Ramdev changed the script of her life. Ravi Rana was already in Ramdev’s good books after organising one of his many ‘Yog Shivirs’ in Amravati. The two of them are said to have met at one such Yog Shivir, and got the final nudge to tie the knot by Ramdev himself. The two finally married in 2011 at a mass wedding ceremony organised by the Yoga guru alongside over 3,000 couples. Since then Baba is the remote control of the couple. Directly and indirectly, many masters and many minds are working against Maha Vikas Aghadi, but so far none of them achieved anything. Narayan Rane ran pin to polls to save his soul, Kirit Somaiya got caught in the INS Vikrant scam, and opposition members made noise but Shiv Sena leaders and primarily Sanjay Raut strained their guns to protect the interest of the state. Let’s see what time has to unfold for Maharashtra.

Bombay High Court discharges Rana couple’s plea seeking withdrawal of FIR

Bombay High Court discharges Rana couple's plea seeking withdrawal of FIR 6

The Bombay High Court dismissed the petition of MP and MLA Ravi Rana and Navneet Rana for quashing the FIR registered against them for allegedly resisting arrest over the row to recite Hanuman Chalisa outside the Maharashtra CM’s residence.

MP Navneet Rana in a letter to the Lok Sabha speaker through her lawyer has alleged ill-treatment by the cops while in custody. “They have reminded her of her low caste, refused water to drink and not allowed to use the washroom,” the lawyer said. MP Navneet Rana and Ravi Rana also filed a petition for quashing the second FIR.

MP Navneet Rana used a bogus cast certificate. The Bombay High Court cancelled her caste certificate stating that she got the certificate fraudulently using fabricated documents, and also imposed a cost of Rs 2 lakh on her. The HC held that Ms Rana’s claim of belonging to the ‘Mochi’ caste for obtaining the Scheduled Caste certificate itself was fraudulent and made intending to get various benefits available to a candidate from such category, despite knowing she does not belong to that caste.

A senior cop told under the condition of anonymity, “Rana is making fake claims, why would cops remind her cast when they know she has acquired a bogus certificate? We have nothing to do with the cast of people. Our duty is to arrest a person and present them in the court”.

Taking a dig at a couple of Ravi and Navneet Rana, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said they can now recite the Hanuman Chalisa in jail. Claiming that the BJP was behind lawyer Gunaratna Sadavarte — who led the MSRTC workers’ protest at NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s residence—and the Ranas, Raut said this was a conspiracy to destabilise the state. Raut also alleged that Navneet had won the elections using a bogus caste certificate.

If Independent, why did Navneet Rana choose saffron outfits? asks netizens 8

Since Navneet Rana called to recite Hanuman Chalisa, we saw her in saffron saree. Netizens call it a deliberate attempt. Garima Singh said, “I am sure lord Hanuman must laugh at politicians who are making funny pranks. Common people should condemn these dramas by making the Hindu gods their tools to grab political power. Though the Saffron is not a political colour, right-wingers are using it for obvious reasons. This colour denotes the value of Hinduism.”

The Maharashtra government has invoked charges under the Sedition Act against the MLA Ravi Rana and his MP wife Navneet Rana, who were arrested earlier by the Mumbai Police over allegedly promoting enmity between different groups. They were taken to the Bandra Holiday Court on Sunday where Special public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat said that they had invoked the Sedition Act against the two.

“Section 124 A has been invoked against them for the hate and dislikes that they spread against the government and the Chief Minister, thereby challenging the writ of the state machinery,” Gharat added. The couple has been sent to judicial custody for 14 days.

The Ranas were booked under IPC section 153 (A) (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony), and section 135 of the Mumbai Police Act (violation of prohibitory orders of police), the police said.

BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, speaking in Nagpur, said the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government’s way of handling the entire episode was “very childish”. The state government tries to hide its failures by terming the situations it can’t handle as BJP-sponsored, opposition leaders said.

While announcing that they had dropped their plan, the couple had said we decided as PM Modi is visiting Mumbai tomorrow and they don’t want any law-and-order situation to arise.

Sena workers had gathered in large numbers outside the apartment of the Rana couple in Mumbai this morning, and shouted slogans after they announced their decision to recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside ‘Matoshree’.

The Shiv Sena workers broke through the barricades and tried to enter the premises of the legislator couple’s residence in Suburban Khar, however, the police brought the situation under control and stopped the Shiv Sena workers from going further.

However, unfazed by the Shiv Sena’s ire and notice by Mumbai Police, the couple said they were firm on their plan. Navneet Rana’s husband Ravi Rana slammed Uddhav Thackeray over ideology claiming that the Maharashtra Chief Minister had deviated from the ideology practised by Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray.

Khargone violence: 64 FIRs, 175 people held so far; curfew relaxed for 9 hours 10

Police have so far arrested 175 people in connection with the violence in Khargone city of Madhya Pradesh during the Ram Navami celebration earlier this month, an official said on Sunday. Local administration relaxed the curfew in Khargone for nine hours – from 8 am to 5 pm – for the second day in a row on Sunday.

But, the night curfew will continue, in-charge Superintendent of Police Rohit Kashwani said, adding that no untoward incident was reported during the curfew relaxation on Saturday.

So far, 64 FIRs have been registered in connection with the violence in Khargone city on April 10, and 175 people have been arrested, Kashwani told reporters on Saturday. He said that Mohsin aka Waseem, who was arrested in connection with the firing at Khargone Superintendent of Police Siddharth Choudhary, was presented before a local court on Saturday and sent to three-day police remand. The accused is being questioned and further details are being collected, the police official said.

He added that a search for the other accused is underway in areas near Khargone and other places based on technical evidence. Choudhary is currently on leave as he is undergoing treatment after sustaining a bullet injury in his leg.

Communal clashes had erupted in Khargone city during the Ram Navami celebration on April 10, during which shops and houses were damaged, vehicles torched and stones hurled.

Curfew was clamped in the city after the violence. But since April 14, the local administration has been relaxing the curfew for some hours.

As per the district administration’s order, the curfew relaxation will not apply to the local agricultural market, petrol pumps, and the sale of kerosene from Public Distribution System (PDS) shops.

During the curfew relaxation period, shops selling milk, vegetables, medicines, and barber’s shops are allowed to remain open, but religious places have been asked to be kept shut.

Was 'forced' to buy paintings for Rs 2 cr from Priyanka Gandhi, says Yes Bank promoter Rana Kapoor 12

Yes Bank promoter Rana Kapoor informed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that he was ‘forced’ by a then Congress Union Minister to buy an MF Hussain painting from Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for Rs 2 crores.

As per the chargesheet filed by the agency in a special court in Mumbai, Kapoor informed ED that he was forced by the then Petroleum Minister Murli Deora to buy the painting, and then Deora told the Yes Bank promoter that the sale proceeds were utilized for the treatment of party interim chief Sonia Gandhi in New York.

Murli Deora held the position of Petroleum Minister in Congress-led United Progressive Alliance governments. “The Congress leader also promised a Padma Bhushan award and more business to Kapoor in return for the purchase of the MF Hussain painting,” said the chargesheet filed by the agency.

ED is investigating a money laundering case against Rana Kapoor and his family members. A case has also been registered against Rana Kapoor for illegally giving a loan of Rs 1900 crore to Gautam Thapar’s Avanta company.

The ED has alleged that a bribe of Rs 300 crore was paid to Kapoor for facilitating around Rs 1,900 crore loans from Yes Bank to Gautam Thapar’s company.


Navneet Rana should know Hanumana is everywhere

Navneet Rana should know Hanumana is everywhere 14

Navneet Kaur Rana, a regional film actress, turned politician and her husband, MLA Ravi Rana, today planned to recite Hanuman Chalisa outside the residence of CM Uddhav Thackeray. The question here is that, why suddenly she thought of reciting Hanuman Chalisa and why, exactly in front of CM’s house, she can express her Bhakti sitting in her own house. Tell me which Hindu goes door to door to recite Hanuman Chalisa to prove their love for Hindutva?  Prayers are personal beliefs and choices. If we have any objection to loudspeakers citing noise pollution, making a noise in front of people’s doors by breaching into their private space is not contamination?

Communal political parties use God’s name to fool the public. Ram or Hanuman never claimed themselves as Hindu, but our politicians make fun of Hindu gods by dragging them into politics. The motives are purely political, but trolling the Chief Minister by getting in their house is madness. The lady could not recite four lines when the media asked her to narrate Hanuman Chalisa. She was making all the wearied claims but brutally ignored reciting Hanuman Chalisa. If Hanuman is protecting her ill intentions, the same Hanuman must protect Uddhav Thackeray, too. God never allows or asks us to troll each other. Such blind followers of nonsensical politics are blotting the Hindu beliefs by bringing faith to the streets.

Politicians serve the public only in order to get appreciation from the public. They do not think about God and hence God also does not care about them. God cares about those who worship him sincerely and secretary. In fact, God checks each devotee who runs after Him. God is not so inexpensive as to go after someone who does not even think about him and his created creatures. Navneet Kaur Rana should have knowledge about the true path to attain God. Her newly born love for God is theatrical intimidation. She is an actor, we all know, and she is playing her role in the direction of her political directors. She should work in the public interest or talk about her merits to win people’s hearts. Doing such petty drama, she might lose her credibility.

Shiv Sena and Uddhav Thackeray don’t need these dramatic performances to prove their Hindutva. The people of Mumbai have loved the Shiv Sena for decades and they know whom to support. Ask any average person in Mumbai, they will tell you how much they are happy with the present government. Despite an everyday attack, the government has not stopped doing their bit for the state. The beautification of infrastructure work is in full swing. 2022 BMC elections can never dislodge Uddhav Thackeray from the civic body.

Citing Balasaheb’s illustrations, BJP leaders cannot get away with their ill-advised acts. Trust if Balasaheb would have been alive, BJP wouldn’t have dared to do such things in Maharashtra. Balasaheb always tamed them by keeping them in their size. It’s the modesty of Uddhav that is backfiring; he should actually implement what all he learned from his father. By hook or crook, BJP is trying to incite communal violence in Maharashtra to create unrest. Even though the present government is not buying the bait and reacting to them.

Shiv Sena workers are the same as they were at the time of Balasaheb. They are very much loyal to the Thackeray family. I saw Shiv Sena workers gathered at various locations in the city, including outside of Matoshree, the residence of CM Uddhav Thackeray, daring Rana to venture anywhere near Matoshree. Every action is called for reaction. What if Shiv Sainik goes wild? We would again blame the law and order of the state but ignore those provocations? Greed for power has disturbed everything in the state.

BJP in opposition should talk about policy failures. They should point out flaws in this government. There should be constructive criticism to make the government accountable. But the opposition party launched the wrong narratives. Neither have they talked about their achievements, nor their development. During five years of the BJP rule, there were a lot of discrepancies. I am sure BJP has nothing to talk about their virtues; their leaders viciously lie about everything. They unleashed Narayan Rane, Kirit Somaiya and Raj Thackeray like politicians against Uddhav Thackeray and Shiv Sena but failed in their motives. They took help from central agencies but failed to dis-mental Maha Vika Aghadi’s government. Now their frustration is at its peak, so the attacks are going below the belt. Besides all other dramas, today Navneet Kaur Rana tried her luck too, but could not succeed.

Rana acted in vernacular cinema and played some music albums. After her marriage to Ravi Rana, she tried her career in politics in Lok Sabha Election 2014 from Nationalist Congress Party. However, lost the election; citing the reason for the loss, she stated that her competition was indirect with Narendra Modi, who had rallied for the then winning candidate, Anandrao Adsul. During the Maharashtra constituency in Lok Sabha Elections 2019, she won as MP from Amravati, as an independent candidate, with the support of the Indian National Congress and Nationalist Congress Party defeating the Anandrao Adsul of Shiv Sena.

On 8 June 2021, the High Court of Bombay fined her Rs. 2 lakhs, for submitting a fake Mochi caste certificate. The court cancelled her caste certificate, however; it remained silent on the validity of her position as an elected representative from a Lok Sabha seat reserved for people belonging to the Scheduled Caste category. Rana is one loose cannon of Maharashtra politics, to remain in news she has frequently performed some of the other aerobatics. This time, it was an addition to Hanuman Chalisa. Hope lord Hanuman opens her eyes.


Maharashtra’s coronavirus casualty rate stood at 1.87 per cent

The only fatality in the state in the last 24 hours was reported in the Parbhani district, the department said. Total cases 78,76,382; fresh cases 179; death toll 1,47,831; recoveries 77,27,789; active cases 762; total tests 7,99,66,346. As many as 36,750 tests were conducted in the last 24 hours, pushing their total count to 7, 99,66,346, the bulletin said.

No private hospital is offering vaccination in the parts of Maharashtra, and the Centre has mandated that age groups under 60 can get the third shot only in the private sector. They have left districts with poor private sector presence in a disadvantageous position because of the Centre’s decision to not offer precautionary doses to people aged 18-59 years in government facilities, said, experts.

Currently, public centres are giving free booster shots only to senior citizens, healthcare and frontline workers. Ten days ago, the booster dose drive was opened for the age group of 18-59 years. So far, it has administered no single shot to anyone from the age bracket in 17 districts of Maharashtra.

Dhananjay Munde’s sister-in-law Renu Sharma arrested on extortion charges

Dhananjay Munde’s sister-in-law Renu Sharma arrested on extortion charges 17

Mumbai crime branch has arrested a 30-year-old woman named Renu Sharma for allegedly demanding Rs 5 crores from social justice minister Dhananjay Munde. According to the complaint, social justice minister Munde, an NCP leader, knows the woman. After they registered the FIR at Malabar Hill police station, they transferred the case to the crime branch of the Mumbai Police for further investigation.

Renu Sharma is Minister Dhananjay Munde’s estranged wife, Karuna Sharma. She earlier blamed Dhananjay Munde for Rape, and she also filed the case against him. She wrote a letter to the Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh and filed a complaint. She said that they have taken no action in this matter so far.

Dhananjay Munde’s wife, Karuna Sharma, also filed a complaint against Dhananjay Munde for sexual harassment. The Renu Sharma singer Karuna Sharma’s sister said that she and Dhananjay Munde have known each other since 1997 when she was 16 to 17 years old.

Playback Singer Renu Sharma has pretended that Karuna Sharma had a love marriage with Dhananjay Munde and that she first met Munde in Madhya Pradesh at her sister’s house. He alleged that in 2006, his sister had gone to Indore for delivery when Dhananjay Munde came to his residence.


Dhananjay Munde caught in-between ex-wife Karuna and sis-in-law Renuka?

Dhananjay Munde caught in-between ex-wife Karuna and sis-in-law Renuka? 19

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Maharashtra Minister of Social Justice Dhananjay Munde, married one woman and had affairs with her sister too. The ladies took every advantage of social media and alleged the minister of raping and molesting them. He fell in love with an aspiring singer, Renu Sharma; presently she is trying her luck in state politics. Renu Sharma has a huge fan following on social media. She posts her videos with various public concerns and sometimes about the atrocities done to her. A doting mother and shattered woman summarize Karuna Sharma.

When Karuna was pregnant and went to her maternal home for a delivery, Munde had a crush on Karuna’s sister, Renuka. She says in her complaint that Munde promised her a break in Bollywood several times, but Munde fulfilled none of the promises. Renu says that Munde raped her several times in 1997 when she was just 17. Munde is her brother-in-law. The relationship between Munde and Sharma was of mutual benefit. She slept with him, asking for favours to launch her in the film industry.

Tagging former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter, the singer wrote, “…My life is in threat, please help.” Rubbishing the allegations of rape, Munde said Renu Sharma was the younger sister of Karuna Sharma, with whom he had been in a consensual relationship since 2003. His family, wife and friends are aware of this. By mutual consent, they had two children, a boy and a girl. He has given his name to these two children. From the school certificate to all their documents, he mentioned his name as the parent of these children and they live with Munde. His family, his wife and his children from his first wife have also accepted them as family members.

Karuna Sharma is the mother of his children. Munde had also accepted the responsibility for her maintenance. He has helped her get a place in Mumbai. He gave her an insurance policy and her brother to set up a business. All these he has done in a good faith. However, in 2019, Karuna Sharma and her sister Renu Sharma started blackmailing the minister and demanding money. They also threatened to kill the Minister. That is what he told the media. Their brother Brijesh Sharma was also involved in all this.

Karuna’s greed for more money and lavishness has spoiled the equations between the minister and his wife. Earlier, she took to social media by alleging him on every occasion. Somehow her social media stunt has back-fired her because she was getting trolled by Munde’s supporters. Later on, mending her ways, she focused on social issues and finally made her debut in the panchayat elections, but could not win.

Meanwhile, Munde had lodged a complaint with the police on November 12, 2020. The matter did not stop here. In November 2020, Karuna Sharma published very personal and private material related to Munde on social media, intending to defame him and blackmail him. The process of reconciliation is underway through the lawyers of both parties. Against this backdrop, Munde claimed that Renu Sharma had posted ‘‘false and defamatory allegations’’ against him.

The dispute between Karuna and Munde is in court. Munde’s first and legal wife is all sorted and firmly supporting him in this battle. The second wife tried disputing, but since her children are at the mercy of the minister and the case in the court, Karuna had limited stunt to play.

Next comes Renu Sharma, all that she is cribbing about is launching her film and singing projects. Munde and she again had mutual relations, so the minister was not ready to compromise. Opposition leaders took the help of such women to defame many Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders. In the recent past, Shiv Sena leader Raghunath Kuchik’s case boomerang on BJP’s Chitra Wagh became silent. Pune rape victim turns the table and spilled the beans of a purported conspiracy hatched by state BJP Women’s Wing Vice President Chitra Wagh. Karuna and Renu Sharma can be one of these episodes, instigated by opposition leaders, but they are failing in their conspiracy.
