His statement comes a day after Shiv Sena and the BJP workers clashed outside the Shiv Sena Bhavan at Dadar in Central Mumbai.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday said the Shiv Sena Bhavan in Mumbai is not just a headquarter of a political party, but a symbol of Maharashtra’s identity and no one should dare cast an evil eye on it. His statement comes a day after Shiv Sena and the BJP workers clashed outside the Shiv Sena Bhavan at Dadar in Central Mumbai on Wednesday after the youth wing of the BJP took out a protest march against the “offensive” remarks in the Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ about the land deal controversy in Ayodhya. Sena MLA Sada Sarvankar had said his partymen had got information that the BJP workers were coming to vandalise the Sena Bhavan. Talking to reporters over the clash, Mr. Raut said the Shiv Sena Bhavan is a symbol of Marathi and Maharashtra.The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
