Cow dung replaces betel nut… Why Uddhav and Raj Thackeray face off in Maharashtra, supporters take revenge

The workers of Maharashtra's two parties, Shiv Sena of Uddhav Koshti and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena of Raj Thackeray, stand face to face and are attacked with betel nuts on one side, while they retaliate with cow dung and coconuts on the other. In fact, former state chief minister Uddhav Thackeray's convoy was attacked in Maharashtra's Thane area on Saturday. Workers from Raj Thackeray's party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena threw cow dung, coconuts, tomatoes and bangles at the former chief minister's vehicle. The attack took place when Uddhav Thackeray was visiting Gadkari Rangayathan to address his party workers. Dung was thrown on the vehicle in which Uddhav was traveling. As soon as Uddhav Thackeray reached the spot, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena attacked him and the protesters were arrested. In this attack, 16 to 17 of his vehicles were pelted with coconuts. Why was the attack on Uddhav Thackeray's convoy, actually it was a revenge attack, in fact, recently in Beatle, Shiv Sena activists from Uddhav group threw tomatoes and betel leaves on Raj Thackeray's vehicle, in response Maharashtra Navnirman Sena activists threw tomatoes. Throwing betel nuts at Raj Thackeray's convoy, he retaliated by throwing cow dung and coconuts and bangles at Uddhav Thackeray's vehicle. “We had betel nuts thrown at us, coconuts thrown at us,” said Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Avinash Jadhav, as you all saw yesterday when Shiv Sena activists from the Uddhav faction attacked Raj Thackeray's convoy. Our Maharashtra Navnirman Sena volunteers responded to them today. They threw betel nuts at us and we threw coconuts at them. He further threatened the Shiv Sena party members and said that this time we came to Gadkari Hall, next time we will come to your house.
