The political tension between the Shiv Sena’s Shinde faction and UBT faction was seen at the divisional commissionerate on the occasion. As soon as Bhumre arrived at the venue, former MP Chandrakant Khaire left the venue. Before leaving Khaire was heard saying that the guardian minister is appointed in an unconstitutional way. Bhumre also made critical comments saying Khaire’s action is an insult to Independence Day celebration.
