The Sena faction led by Uddhav Thackeray has fielded Latke's wife Rutuja Latke in the election.
Rane also expressed confidence that the BJP will win the South Mumbai and South Goa Lok Sabha seats in the next general election.
The party will ensure that no candidate of the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of the Shiv Sena is elected from Mumbai, said Rane, a former Shiv Sena leader.
The South Mumbai seat is currently represented by Arvind Sawant who owes allegiance to Uddhav Thackeray, while South Goa is represented by the Congress. Rane is the BJP's in-charge of both these seats.
