As part of the campaign 40 buses were slated to be used wherein a screen mounted on a mobile van would show speeches of BJP MLAs on the alleged corruption in the BMC.
In the aftermath of the supposed attack, Darekar while interacting with the media mentioned that he thinks Shiv Sena party workers were involved in the bus breaking incident. He asked the police to immediately identify and arrest them. If they are not arrested on priority, Darekar has threatened to protest.
