Union minister Narayan Rane claimed the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra will collapse in June.

Speaking to reporters in Washim, some 570 kilometres from Mumbai, the BJP leader said the MVA, which comprises the Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP, will collapse like the trees in cyclones in his native Konkan. Cyclones bring down all branches and leaves, and in this government, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, who is sitting on an insignificant branch, will lose his post as well, Rane, a former Sainik, taunted.
