Meanwhile, Dolharkar and around 20 of his supporters reached the MC office premises on Wednesday afternoon to take charge. But Madavi allegedly made him wait outside for long irked by which Dolharkar and his supporters allegedly barged into the cabin carrying a big chair. The chair was placed right next to Madavi’s and Dolharkar sat on it and announced that he had taken charge of the office.
