In Ulhasnagar, Maharashtra, members of the BJP and Shinde Sena have filed criminal cases against rivals in the Mahayuti faction dispute, escalating the political clash to the police.
The Mahayuti faction dispute, long simmering in the western suburbs of Mumbai, has now reached a legal stage after leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shinde Sena filed criminal complaints in Ulhasnagar Police Station.
The cases, filed on Thursday, allege intimidation and unlawful activities by rival faction members. The filing marks a significant escalation, as the feud has previously been confined to public rallies and social media exchanges.
Police officials in Ulhasnagar confirmed that they have received the complaints and will initiate an investigation. They urged all parties to resolve the matter peacefully to avoid further unrest.
Political analysts suggest that the move could intensify intra-party rivalries and affect local election dynamics, as both parties seek to consolidate their support base in the region.
