The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Thursday accused the legislators belonging to the Shiv Sena faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde of taking the law into their hands, and wondered if the ruling camp was trying to turn the state into a "gundaraj" (rule of goons).

The Sharad Pawar-led party also alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which shares power with the Shinde faction in the state, was silent on the "wrongdoings" of the legislators of its ruling partner.
