Speaking to media, MNS's Sanjay Naik said that they were actually protesting at the manner in which buses from outside the state were hired for the purpose of IPL tournament, depriving the locals of employment opportunities though they can provide similar vehicles as needed.

“Despite our protests, they have allowed several buses and other smaller vehicles here from Delhi and other parts, which is affecting the livelihood of the local Marathi people,” Naik told IANS.
