Earlier last week, Rana had asked Thackeray to recite the devotional hymns at his residence on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, drawing severe criticism from the Shiv Sena, which accused him of stoking communal disharmony in the state.
Former mayor of Mumbai and Sena leader Kishori Pednekar had hit back at Rana for targeting the chief minister.
