Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis came out in full support of Kangana Ranaut and trained guns on Uddhav's Aghadi government. Fadnavis condemned BMC's move to demolish parts of Kangana's office and raised questions about why the Maharashtra government is not demolishing underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's house located in Mumbai.

" Why did the Maharashtra govt demolish Kangana's office and not Dawood Ibrahim's home, Why is the government not focusing on Coronavirus? The issue was not so huge that it was to be discussed on a national level but the Shiv Sena govt made it so big", said Fadnavis while speaking to the media on Friday.

Meanwhile, NCP chief Sharad Pawar broke his silence over the partial demolition of Kangana Ranaut's Mumbai office, Manikarnika Films. He said that the Maharashtra government was not a part of it. The action was taken by BMC as per the rules of the state.

Kangana Ranaut has also got support from the Chief Minister of her home state Himachal Pradesh, Jairam Thakur, who is from the BJP.

"The Maharashtra government's move against her ( Ranaut) is very unfortunate. I condemn this move. Himachal's daughter Kangana Ranaut only made her voice heard and raised some issues, but they are taking action for that. This is really unfortunate," Thakur told reporters today.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation or BMC had raised 14 "violations" at her office in Mumbai's Pali Hills, which included a toilet apparently built-in space marked for a kitchen and an office set up in an area meant for a toilet.

"Illegal alterations" at the Bandra bungalow of the Bollywood star would also be demolished, a BMC official was quoted by Press Trust of India as saying.

The BMC has received criticism over whether it had given enough notice to the actor before going in for demolition since the actor had been away from Mumbai for months. She returned to the city today. Hundreds of Shiv Sena supporters turned up at the airport to protest against her.
