A clash broke out between members of the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the BJP in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, on Monday. The altercation occurred in front of the Rama Hotel, where Aaditya Thackeray, leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), was staying during his two-day visit to the city. The situation escalated, prompting the police to use a mild lathi charge to restore order, reported ANI.
According to the report, the conflict began when BJP workers protested against Aaditya Thackeray’s visit, leading to a confrontation with Shiv Sena (UBT) supporters. The tensions followed a recent incident where Aaditya Thackeray’s supporters protested against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Aurangabad, Maharashtra. In response, BJP workers engaged in loud sloganeering, which was met with a similar reaction from Shiv Sena (UBT) members, resulting in the scuffle.
