Yuva Sena members, who protested outside Union minister Narayan Rane's residence in Mumbai over his remarks against Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, met the CM, a leader from the party's youth wing said.
The meeting took place on Tuesday night (August 24) at Thackeray's official residence 'Varsha', said Yuva Sena leader Varun Sardesai, who led the team during the protest. State cabinet minister Aaditya Thackeray, who is the CM's son and heads the Yuva Sena, was present in the meeting.
Sardesai, who is the nephew of CM Thackeray, had on Tuesday asked whether senior BJP leaders approved of the language used by Rane against the chief minister.
Activists of the Shiv Sena's youth wing and the BJP clashed with each other near Rane's residence on Juhu Tara Road in Santacruz (West) on August 24 in the wake of his comments against the CM, police earlier said.
Stones were pelted from both sides, following which police used cane-charge to disperse the agitators, an official had said. The clash took place during a protest organised by activists of the Yuva Sena against Rane, he had said. Later, additional police force was deployed in the area.
