The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Amravati Lok Sabha candidate Navneet Rana slammed Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut for referring to her as a "dancer" and "babli" (a film character who cons people) and said people of her constituency will not tolerate such insults.
The actor-turned-politician said Mr. Raut was "tin tappad" (scrap and useless household items/also used as slang to refer to riffraff) from Mumbai who goes to various places and speaks derogatorily about others.
"If he speaks in this way about the daughter of Amravati, the people here will not tolerate such insults," she said in a public gathering on April 19.
