After Shiv Sena MLA Ashok Patil was denied ticket by the party to contest Assembly polls in Maharashtra, his supporters sat in protest outside Uddhav Thackeray's residence Matoshree in Mumbai last night.

Speaking to ANI, a Shiv Sena worker, Tattaram Dharma Palekar told ANI, "Ashok Patil was the only one sympathiser to our community. We want justice, we have only one demand to give Patil a ticket to contest. We are unable to understand why he was not given a ticket? It is hard to believe that a man who worked for us effortlessly denied a ticket."
