KALYAN: Simmering tensions between the BJP and Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena came to the fore a day after the inauguration's of several projects in Dombivli by chief minister Eknath Shinde and deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis in Diva.
Leaders and party workers of the Kalyan-Dombivli unit, angry over the Shiv Sena's deliberate omission of Fadnavis' photograph from hoardings and posters passed a resolution on Thursday demanding the transfer of senior police inspector Suresh Bagde of Manpada police station considered close to Sena MP Shrikant Shinde, son of CM Shinde.
Local leaders and party workers of the two political parties have been at loggerheads though the two are in alliance in government in the state and Centre.
