Reacting to the incident, Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey hit out at the government and said that if the former MLA is not safe in our city Mumbai and if the leaders of the government are not safe, then how will this government protect the common people. ? If they cannot keep their MLAs and former ministers safe, then state Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis should resign. He has no right to remain the Home Minister.
