Clashes broke out between workers of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and former CM Uddhav Thackeray over a Shiv Sena shakha (local party office) in Thane on Tuesday.
Workers from Thackeray's faction allegedly removed a poster from the party office, which was later replaced with some other poster by cadres of the Shinde camp. This led to clashes between the two groups and the police had to intervene to placate the agitated workers. Police also locked the Shiv Sena party office.
MP Rajan Vichare, district president Kedar Dighe from Thackeray's camp and former mayor and spokesperson of the Shinde camp Naresh Mhaske were present.
This is the second time this month that clashes have broken out between party workers of Thackeray's faction and Shinde's camp.
On September 11, police arrested five workers from Thackeray's faction after they clashed with Shinde's faction during a Ganesh Visarjan procession.
