NCP workers pelted stones at MNS Chief

Pune/Mumbai: Suspected NCP workers pelted stones at MNS chief Raj Thackeray’s convoy in Ahmednagar district on Tuesday evening, police said.

The incident took place at around 8.30 pm on Tuesday at Bhingar in the Western Maharashtra district, about 125 km from Pune, local Police Inspector Shankarrao Deshmukh told.

According to Raj, Water Resources Department, which Ajit Pawar headed between 1999 and 2009, had failed to take steps to prevent water scarcity despite spending huge amount of sums on irrigation projects.
