Aaditya Thackeray

“There is one party and two factions on the treasury side. Twenty-two MLAs from one faction have grown close to the CM. They have good funds and they have started dancing to the tune of the CM,” he said, without explicitly naming the Shiv Sena faction.

The comments add to a growing chorus of political backlash over Delhi’s worsening winter pollution.

“A drone was caught peeping into our residence this morning, and when the media learnt about it, the @MMRDAOfficial is saying it was a survey being done for BKC with permission of the Mumbai Police," he wrote.

He confirmed that he would likely hold a press conference similar to the one Congress leader Rahul Gandhi held when he made allegations of "vote theft".

Following this announcement, Aaditya Thackeray, a leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), criticised the BCCI, accusing the organisation of using the opportunity to play against Pakistan solely for profit.

The two marquee India versus Pakistan games will be held in Dubai during the Asia Cup scheduled to start in the UAE from September 9.

At the CNN-News18 Townhall, Aaditya Thackeray claimed, “For the last 7–8 years, the EC has prevented free and fair elections in India," arguing that the institution’s credibility was at stake.

The KDMC notice issued last week imposes a 24-hour ban on slaughter and meat sales from midnight of August 14 to midnight of August 15.

In a significant development, Satish Salian, father of Disha Salian, met a senior Mumbai police officer on March 27, 2025, demanding action and an FIR against Aaditya Thackeray and others.

An FIR has been filed in the Disha Salian death case, naming several high-profile individuals, including Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, actress Rhea Chakraborty, and actors Dino Morea and Suraj Pancholi, among others.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) is rallying behind Aaditya Thackeray, questioning the timing of the probe demand and stressing that it was an attempt to shift focus from the Nagpur riots earlier this week.

Disha Salian’s father has approached the Bombay High Court, seeking a fresh investigation into his daughter’s death. He has also requested an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray. Disha, Sushant Singh Rajput’s former manager, was found dead under mysterious circumstances on June 8, 2020, in Mumbai.

Addressing a press conference, he said Mumbaikars have to bear dug-up roads, non-operational buses of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) and contaminated water, but the BJP government does not have an answer to these issues.

Asked about Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi citing Savarkar’s criticism of the Constitution, Thackeray said the discussion on the Constitution should focus on the country’s future

Addressing a news conference, Thackeray demanded that Shinde as well as Deepak Kesarkar and Mangal Prabhat Lodha, who were the guardian ministers of Mumbai city and Mumbai suburbs, respectively, be kept out of the new government as the road contracts were awarded during their tenure as ministers.

“Sometimes the state unit of the SP acts like the B team of the BJP. (SP national chief) Akhilesh Yadavji is fighting the battle (against the BJP). But don’t get me started on who the state SP helped in the recent (assembly) polls,” Thackeray told reporters.

However, party leaders like Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray, and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut are reportedly keen on maintaining the MVA to present a united opposition against the BJP.
