BJP Workers Clash in Palghar
There's a big fight within the BJP party in Palghar, a city in Maharashtra.
Two people, Ashok Ambure, who used to be the city president, and Vaishali Chavan, a party worker, had a physical fight.
They also accused each other of doing bad things.
Both have gone to the police.
Some important party leaders tried to stop the fight, but they couldn't.
This is happening just before the city elections, and people are worried it might hurt the BJP's chances.
Ashok Ambure's wife is running for a position in the elections.
The fight started because Ashok Ambure allegedly asked Vaishali Chavan for Rs 10 lakh to let her run in the elections.
A physical altercation occurred between BJP's former city president Ashok Ambure and worker Vaishali Chavan in Palghar.
The dispute reportedly stemmed from a demand for Rs 10 lakh for candidacy in the upcoming local body polls.
Both parties have filed police complaints against each other.
Mediation efforts by MP Dr. Hemant Savara and District President Bharat Rajput were unsuccessful.
The conflict is raising concerns about its potential impact on the BJP's performance in the upcoming Municipal Council elections.
