Even as leaders of the Shiv Sena and the BJP were discussing the seat-sharing formula and ways to save the alliance at the headquarters of the Mumbai BJP at Dadar’s Vasant Smruti building on Tuesday, on Twitter and Facebook, the supporters of both parties were slugging it out.

The online fight began on Monday evening, after some senior leaders from the BJP took a dig at Aaditya Thackeray, saying he was a junior meeting a senior leader like O P Mathur of the BJP. However, orders from top bosses of both sides led to a truce by late last evening.
