Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers vandalise Nationalist Congress Party's (NCP) office

War of words between deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray took an ugly turn as supporters of both the parties took to the streets late on Tuesday night.

While the Nationalist Congress Party’s (NCP) Pune office on Tilak Road in Hirabaug was vandalised by MNS workers, agitated NCP workers took out a morcha to Shanipar Chowk on Wednesday morning. Window panes were smashed and couple of earthen pots were found broken at the NCP’s office housed in Gire Bungalow.

Tension mounted when a stone-pelting incident targeting Raj Thackeray’s convoy at Bhingar in Ahmednagar district on Tuesday evening came to light. Violence escalated on Wednesday with MNS workers and supporters vandalising NCP offices in several parts of Mumbai and adjoining Thane as well.
