Kangana Ranaut took a dig at Shiv Sena-headed Maharashtra Government in the wake of the Bhiwandi Building crash in which 25 people have been rescued and about 41 bodies have been taken out by the NDRF (National Disaster Response Force). She addressed her tweet to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut and the BMC and hit out at them for their negligence in the case.

Kangana wrote in Hindi, "While my house was demolished illegally.. if only you would have paid so much attention to this building [one collapsed in Bhiwandi] at that time, about fifty people would have been alive today. These many young people were not killed at Pulwama against Pakistan as many innocent people have been killed due to your negligence. God knows what will happen of Mumbai".
