Rane criticises Khadi Commission's controversial move

Thane, Jan 14 (UNI) Senior Congress leader and former chief minister Narayan Rane today criticised the controversial move of the government-run Khadi & Village Industries Commission (KVIC) to replace the photo of Mahatma Gandhi with that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this year's calendars and diaries.
Talking to mediapersons here this evening after a meeting of the party organised to take a decision on whether to have an alliance with NCP for the Thane Municipal Corporation election, he said that Gandhi was still revered in high esteem in the country, but the man who wears a coat worth lakhs of rupees has taken pleasure in replacing Gandhiji, he quipped.
''This is an insult to the Father of Nation,'' he noted.
