Aaditya Thackeray: I have come to see the metro bridges, as he fields Omraje remark on Sena merger

Amid the Diwali festivities, talk of an NCP merger is running high in state politics. Along with it, there is also talk of the two Shiv Senas coming together. MP Omraje Nimbalkar had said that if the two Shiv Senas united, no one would be happier than him. According to him, the decision is a matter for senior leaders and he himself is an ordinary party worker.

Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) MLA Aaditya Thackeray has reacted to this statement. He was in Pune for a prize distribution event of a fort-building competition. Journalists asked him several questions there, including one on Omraje's statement.

Aaditya Thackeray said two metro bridges are about to be joined and he had come to see that. He then said that MPSC students had already answered this question. In this way he recalled the students' anger in the agitation in Pune.

Aaditya Thackeray said the BJP creates controversies as soon as elections approach. According to him, whether it is the dispute over Chhath Puja or the caste dispute, all of it is BJP-sponsored. He said such issues are pushed forward to divert attention from inflation. In this way he questioned the Chhath Puja controversy and the government's stand.

Aaditya Thackeray said that, as the opposition, they are agitating across the state and that students have also held agitations. He expressed confidence that there would be a regime change, a certain one, that change would come.

He targeted the ruling side over the Chakan MIDC area. He said no one speaks about the corruption going on in the MIDC. There are no roads there, pollution has increased and the government has no time to speak on it.

On the talk of an NCP merger, Aaditya Thackeray said clearly that he could not say anything about the other two parties and would not speak on it.

Asked about the tapping of Rahul Gandhi's phone, he said phones are tapped using Pegasus and other methods. According to him, the government does not understand whom it should be used against. Aaditya Thackeray said it should be used against terrorists.
