Aditya Thackeray attacked BJP

 

The collapse of the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj has been severely criticized. UBT Shiv Sena MLA Aditya Thackeray has blamed the arrogance of the BJP for this. He said, 'We will never tolerate the insult of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj who is the ideal of us and the whole of Maharashtra.
