MUMBAI — Actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar on Monday approached police for protection after a clash between Congress and BJP supporters during her poll campaign in north Mumbai. The scuffle took place near Borivali station where Matondkar, Congress candidate from Mumbai North Lok Sabha constituency, was campaigning, police said. The BJP workers chanted slogans outside the Borivali railway station, shouting ‘Modi, Modi’ as they confronted the Congress workers, an onlooker said. Matondkar told reporters that she lodged the police complaint for her safety after some BJP workers barged into her rally. She said she was shocked by the “blatant violation” of model code of conduct by the workers of the ruling party and blamed the BJP for “creating fear”.
