Furious residents of Waghbil and Ghodbunder ambushed the rally of Shiv Sena MP from Thane, Rajan Vichare, and stopped him from proceeding during his campaign for the Lok Sabha election on Tuesday. They claimed he hadn't shown them his face in the past five years whenever they needed him, so now they didn't want to vote for him. The MP was held up for 30 minutes.

People from Navi Mumbai and Mira Bhayander have accused Vichare of being merely Thane's MP and inaccessible to them. But now even Thane citizens are against Vichare. On Tuesday evening when Vichare's rally arrived near Waghbil, residents suddenly stopped the tempo on which he was standing. Women even abused him verbally for not working for the locality.
