NCP MLA Sandip Bajoriya and RSP MLA Mahadev Jankar had heated exchanges and would have gone for a scuffle; but NCP state unit president Sunil Tatkare and leader of opposition in the legislative council Dhananjay Munde intervened, and took the two MLCs away from each other.

The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon outside the state legislative council. Jankar was passing through the corridors of Vidhan Bhavan with Minister Pankaja Munde, when NCP MLC Bajoriya passed a remark that annoyed Jankar. According to Jankar, the remark was, "Chikki kha, chikki kha,"' meaning "Eat chikki", which annoyed Jankar. Munde kept on walking ahead and Jankar turned back and threatened Bajoriya when he said, "Gobar kha chikki aiwaji", meaning, "Eat cow dung instead of chikki." Jankar said that when he rushed at Bajoriya, it was Tatkare and Dhananjay Munde who intervened and requested Jankar to drop the matter. He said he yielded because Bajoriya had run away.

But Tatkare, when contacted by dna, said there was no scuffle or heated exchange; Jankar got annoyed when Bajoriya was poking fun at him. When asked about comments about chikki and cow dung, Tatkare said that the government would have to bear with such comments till the row over the chikki purchase is settled.
