Aaditya Thackeray Slams Shinde Govt A Day Ago
Addressing a well-attended protest rally outside the civic headquarters in south Mumbai on Saturday, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray also alleged irregularities in civic road concretisation works, gravel procurement, purchase of furniture and sanitary pads. The metropolis was being looted as the Eknath Shinde government was indulging in only scams in the last one year, the former minister alleged.
The Sena (UBT) leader also accused the state government of corruption in road contracts for the city. “The government had planned to give Rs600 crore to the contractors even before the work started; they even took a 40% cut,” Thackeray said. “A file of your theft is ready and you will be shown your place on the day we come back to power,” he said.
