New Delhi: The verbal spat between Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut and the Maharashtra government has taken a dramatic turn with civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) moving in to demolish alleged illegal construction of her Manikarnika Office in Mumbai.

The former Maharashtra CM and the Bharatiya Janata Party leader, Fadnavis said that Kangana's statements regarding city force and Mumbai looking like Pakistan Occupied Kashmir has mounted insult. But Maharashtra government's move to demolish her property in to take revenge, which is coward. This has never happened in the history of Maharashtra, Fadnavis said referring to the action by the BMC.

His statement comes as BMC on Wednesday razed parts of her residence and office in Bandra. However, the Bombay High Court has put a stay on the civic body's demolition drive at her property in Mumbai. The order came after BMC already razed parts of Kangana's residence and damaged her office which is a part of her house in Bandra. The war of words between the 'Queen' actress and Shiv Sena started after Kangana compared Mumbai to PoK. The row aggravated to a ‘Kangana Ranaut versus the state of Maharashtra’ war, with state Home Minister Deshmukh ordering a probe into the actress' alleged involvement in the drugs case.
