A large number of office-bearers and party workers from the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar), Congress, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) participated in the agitation, expressing their opposition to the functioning of the Election Commission and demanding accountability over the conduct of elections.
