BMC Elections 2017: City Will Bring Down BJP Arrogance, Says Aaditya Thackeray

The “never again” promise of Uddhav Thackeray about the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance ahead of the Mumbai civic body elections has received a vociferous support from the people, claims his 26-year-old son Aaditya

Thackeray. The BMC is the most cash rich corporation of the country, having an annual budget of a whopping Rs. 37,000 crore and over two decades, the Shiv Sena has dominated it with four straight wins. But Uddhav Thackeray’s remark came following a growing perception of BJP Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis trying to get out of the junior partner image and defeating the Sena on its own turf.

Asked about it, Thackeray junior, in the middle of a rally in Worli, responds with an anecdote. “I was traveling on a local train from Tardeo to Andheri… when two people came up to me and said, ‘Great decision, but bring their arrogance down’,” he said. More than any of us… the whole atmosphere in the city is of bringing down the arrogance of the BJP.”
