Maharashtra Crisis: Kangana Responds to Uddhav Thackeray’s Resignation — Watch

Bol­ly­wood actress Kan­gana Ranaut shared her reac­tion to Uddhav Thack­er­ay’s recent res­ig­na­tion from the post of Chief Min­is­ter of Maha­rash­tra via social media on Thurs­day. Tak­ing to her Insta­gram han­dle, the Queen actor shared a minute-long video with the cap­tion: “When evil takes over, destruc­tion is immi­nent. After that there is cre­ation. The lotus of life blooms.”

In the video, she dis­cussed the rebirth of democ­ra­cy, stat­ing that the cur­rent peri­od is the most impor­tant in the his­to­ry of Indi­an democ­ra­cy since 1975. Kan­gana also referred to her two-year-old state­ment regard­ing the state gov­ern­ment led by Uddhav Thackay.

In Hin­di, the actor said: “In 2020 I had said that democ­ra­cy is a belief sys­tem. And those who destroy this belief sys­tem out of lust for pow­er are doomed. Your arro­gance will be destroyed. That shows a per­son­’s character.”

“Hanu­man ji is con­sid­ered the 12th avatar of Lord Shi­va. And when Shiv Sena him­self for­bids Hanu­man Chal­isa, not even Shi­va him­self can save her. Har Har Mahadev. Jai Hind, Jai Maha­rash­tra,” she added. Uddhav Thack­er­ay sub­mit­ted his res­ig­na­tion to the gov­er­nor of the state of Bha­gat Singh Koshyari in Raj Bha­van on Wednesday.

The gov­er­nor accept­ed the res­ig­na­tion and asked Uddhav Thack­er­ay to con­tin­ue as CM until an alter­na­tive agree­ment was reached. Thack­ay made the announce­ment of his res­ig­na­tion min­utes after the Supreme Court on Wednes­day allowed Thurs­day’s floor test in the Maha­rash­tra assem­bly. “I am step­ping down as Chief Min­is­ter,” he announced.

He also announced his retire­ment as an MLC. On the labor front, Kan­gana will next appear in Tejas, where she plays the role of an Indi­an Air Force offi­cer. The film will be released lat­er this year. She will also appear in “Emer­gency,” which is based on the life of the late Prime Min­is­ter Indi­ra Gandhi.
