According to a Yuva Sena worker present at the meeting, Raj Kulkarni, the Vibhag Adhikari of the area, had told Sarnaik, that some members claimed they would only come for the meeting if Jadhav or Ghole informed them. This caused an immediate verbal fight and things went out of hand.
&ldquo;There was a real fight that happened, some workers even went and damaged the car parked outside belonging to Kulkarni. There has been a lot of trouble in the functioning of Yuva Sena here, and hence the meeting was called. But then it turned to be violent as misunderstanding was growing with every passing day but there was no solution to it,&rdquo; said the worker.
According to another party worker, the Yuva Sainiks present in the meeting were informed by Sarnaik that by March 20, another meeting to select and appoint new members will be held. &ldquo;It is almost a month now but nothing has happened, and people are still waiting for new appointments,&rdquo; the worker said.
A senior leader who migrated from Bhartiya Vidyarthi Sena to Yuva Sena, claimed that, there are lots of groups now formed in the second rung leaders. &ldquo;These leaders are using the power as it suits them and aren&rsquo;t bothered about the party workers,&rdquo; he said.
Sarnaik confirmed that in the meeting a spat did happen, but termed it to be a minor one. He also claimed that he spoke to the Vibhag Adhikari, Kulkarni on the car being damaged and he was told that it was just a scratch. &ldquo;Anywhere, may it be in Maharashtra or any shakha, if there are disputes, we as responsible members of the party will go and resolve the issue,&rdquo; said Sarnaik.
A party leader added, &ldquo;There are many such fights that are allegedly breaking amongst karyakartas of the Yuva Sena, especially between groups who have different bosses.&rdquo;
