Mumbai: The two tools Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray handily wields against the barrage of attacks against him and his Maha Vikas Aghadi government are old-fashioned instinct and sophisticated calculation. These were once again in evidence as the state government slashed the security cover of the leader of the opposition in the assembly Devendra Fadnavis and his family, former UP governor Ram Naik, MNS president Raj Thackeray, state BJP chief Chandrakant Patil, another former CM and BJP MP Narayan Rane, Union Minister Raosaheb Danve. Rane had âY-plusâ security.
As per a government notification issued on January 8, Fadnavis will now get âY-plus security with escortâ, instead of the âZ-plusâ cover. Security for his wife Amruta Fadnavis and daughter Divija has been downgraded from âY-plus with escortâ to âXâ category. Former Uttar Pradesh governor Ram Naik will now get âYâ cover instead of âY-plusâ. MNS c
