Rane said: “To form a government or to break a government, there are some things that are meant to be kept secret.”
The MVA coalition government was formed in Maharashtra following the 2019 Assembly elections in the state under the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray of Shiv Sena.
The Shiv Sena, once the closest and long-time ally of the BJP, had snapped ties with the saffron party after the BJP refused to accept Uddhav Thackeray as chief minister.
