										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis used derogatory terms when referring to BJP leaders Amit Shah and Yogi Adityanath, according to Union Minister Narayan Rane.</p>
<p>Rane told reporters after obtaining release from a Mahad court on Tuesday and additional relief from the Bombay High Court on Wednesday that he is not frightened of the state&#8217;s ruling Shiv Sena.</p>
<p>In an FIR filed in Nashik over his controversial remarks against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, the Maharashtra government assured the Bombay High Court on Wednesday that it would not take any coercive action against Union minister Narayan Rane.</p>
<p>A division bench of Justices S S Shinde and N J Jamadar was hearing a petition filed by Rane to quash the FIR filed in Nashik as well as any future cases that may be brought.</p>
