Nitesh Narayan Rane (Marathi: नितेश नारायण राणे) is a politician, youth leader and the head of the non-governmental organization "Swabhiman Sanghatana". He is the younger son of Congress minister Narayan Rane.[1]

Early life

Nitesh Rane was born in Mumbai to Neelam Rane and Narayan Rane, a senior Congress leader from Maharashtra on 23 June 1982.[2][3] He is an MBA professional and studied in the United States along with his elder brother Nilesh. He returned to India to join politics and help his father when his father decided to quit Shiv Sena in 2005 and join Congress.[1]

Career

Swabhiman Sanghatana

Rane started his career by founding Swabhiman Sanghatana which raises social issues in areas of youth unemployment, health services, basic amenities throughout Maharashtra, and mainly in Mumbai.[4] He was also the general secretary of Youth Congress, Mumbai but resigned from his post in December 2008 because of the conflict between him and other local Congress leaders.[1] At the onset of summer of 2010, the organization launched a toll free helpline where citizens could register their complaints against the private water supply tankers. Rane stated that the private tankers charged exorbitant prices ranging from anything between 6 to 25 times the rate set by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.[5][6] He blamed the Shiv Sena-BJP administered BMC for their failure to curb "water-mafia".[7]

Swabhiman Sanghatana has organised several job fairs.[8] In October 2011 at Kamgar Maidan, Mumbai, it set a Guinness World Record by conducting largest job fair which gave over 25,000 jobs to unemployed youth, including physically challenged.[9]

Other works

In September 2012 he started an initiative called "Maharashtra Kalanidhi" (MKN) along with Anant Panshikar in order to help Marathi theatre and to get audience to Marathi cinema.[10] The organization helped director-producer Sanjay Jadhav when he faced financial setbacks in production of his film Duniyadari.[11]

In media

Rane has made to local as well as national news many times. Late in 2009, he protested the release of the Marathi film Zenda as one character in it "Sada Malwankar" resembled his father Narayan Rane, who was the then Minister of Revenue for the state. The producer-director of the film Avdhoot Gupte had to re-shoot and re-dub few scenes and also change the character's name to "Sada Panvalkar" thus removing the connection of Rane family with their hometown Malvan.[12] In 2010, Chintu Shaikh, a small businessman who runs a medical store in Vikhroli, filed an F.I.R. against Rane under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code for attempted murder. Shaikh claimed that Rane had fired two rounds at him. But the prima facie medical report called the injury to be sustained by some "sharp object" and not bullets.[13] With further investigation, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) gave clean cheat to Rane in 2012. The case was transferred to CBI from police when Shaikh filed a petition in Bombay High Court claiming that police were wrongfully protecting Rane.[14]

In 2012, Rane claimed that the Election Commission of India should close the stall of Vada pav run by Shiv Sena, just in the manner it had ordered covering of statues of Mayawati in Uttar Pradesh. He deemed these stalls as "promotional activity" of Shiv Sena in the light of upcoming elections of BMC.[15] Earlier in 2011 BMC had threatened to demolish illegal stalls, including those set by Swabhiman Sanghatana. BMC had then removed Shiv Sena's stalls also after Rane warned BMC for partial behaviour.[16]

In 2012, he was warned by BMC for displaying huge hoardings and banners on the occasion of his birthday by his followers. In response he stated that the banners were already removed by them and that BMC was targeting Nitesh Rane while turning a blind eye on banners of Shiv Sena.[2]

Controversies

On 1st August 2013, Mr. Rane criticized Gujarati supporters of Narendra Modi inhabiting Mumbai. He claims that Mumbai offers more lucrative options and should "stop praising Narendra Modi". Additionally, Mr. Rane claims that non-vegetarians are discriminated by "wealthy gujaratis" in Mumbai and advocates its end. [17] [18]

Later while speaking to media over his comment on Gujarati, it understood that remarks were political and purely made on new posters planted across Mumbai city by Maharashtra BJP.[19]

Personal life

Nitesh Rane married Rutuja Shinde on 28 November 2010. The wedding ceremony took place at the Hotel Grand Hyatt, Mumbai and the reception was held at Royal Western India Turf Club.[20][21][22]
