Shiv Sena's senior most leader Manohar Joshi was today booed off the stage at the party's annual Dussehra rally at the iconic Shivaji Park in Mumbai.

A late entrant at the venue, Joshi faced a group of hostile Shiv Sainiks who shouted slogans against him.

The 75-year-old leader chose to walk out telling reporters there was no hostility between him and the party workers.

"No need to pit me against them," he said. Two days ago, the Sena veteran and former Lok Sabha speaker had criticised party chief Uddhav Thackeray, hinting that his leadership was not as strong as his father Bal Thackeray's was.
