Thane, Aug 24 (PTI) BJP workers on Saturday demonstrated in Thane against the Maha Vikas Aghadi, accusing the opposition parties of trying to politicise the alleged sexual abuse of two minor girls at a school in Badlapur.

Protesters, led by BJP's Thane district president Sanjay Waghule and MLA Sanjay Kelkar, assembled in front of Ahilyadevi memorial amid rains and demanded swift justice for the victim girls.

Kelkar alleged that MVA leaders are eyeing power and lack sensitivity.
