Sena MLA supporters protest outside Joshi's house

New Delhi: Less than a month to go for elections in Maharashtra and differences within the Shiv Sena seem to be spilling out onto the streets.

Supporters of a Shiv Sena MLA on Sunday protested outside the house of senior party leader Manohar Joshi at Shivaji Park in Mumbai, police said.

Supporters of Sada Sarvankar shouted slogans in front of the house of the former Lok Sabha speaker over speculation that Shiv Sena was planning to field Milind Vaidya from Dadar instead of Sarvankar, sources close to the MLA said.

Vaidya, a former Mayor of Mumbai, is a close associate of Joshi.

Police have dispersed the nearly 100 Shiv Sainiks who had come in three buses and were camping outside Joshi's house in Dadar.
