Aaditya Thackeray

Addressing Shiv Sena workers during his tour of the Konkan region, he said the Shinde government's focus is on "dirty politics" and not the welfare of the people.

Aaditya Thackeray of the Shiv Sena, is accused of employing kids in his party's campaign to rescue the Aarey forest by the nation's top child rights organisation, NCPCR, on Monday.

As Shiv Sena rebels consolidate their position in a bid to topple the three-party Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra, the BJP is weighing options.

Eknath Shinde, a senior Sena minister and prominent leader from Thane district, last week rebelled against the party.

On the second day in a row, Shiv Sena cadres staged protests against the dissidents in various parts of the state, including Mumbai and Pune.

Addressing the Sena workers in Mumbai for the second consecutive day, Aaditya Thackeray also said that doors of the state and party are closed for the rebels MLAs.

Thackeray said Shinde was given the key department of urban development which is usually headed by the chief minister of the day and publicly blamed the opposition BJP for the rebellion in the Shiv Sena which has threatened the stability of his Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition government which also consists of the NCP and the Congress.

The Sena has been witnessing the rebellion within the party after Eknath Shinde broke away and formed a rebel group with the support of several legislators.

On his first visit to Ayodhya, Thackeray will offer prayers at the Ram Temple, visit Janambhoomi site and participate in an ’aarti’ at the banks of Saryu river.

"This is not a political programme," Raut told reporters here, adding that a team of Shiv Sena workers and leaders are already in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya city to take care of arrangements for Thackeray's visit.

"Finally, Mumbai will get world-class Bus stops to replace the eyesores that have been blots on the landscape," wrote Anand Mahindra.

Before this raids, the IT department had also conducted at the offices and premises of various BMC contactors and Shiv Sena leaders.

Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray will review the situation next week and decide about opening the monuments and tourist places, said Aaditya Thackeray.

In the span of last seven days, the country's financial capital has seen an exponential surge in new infections. The per-day count on December 20 was 204, which increased almost on daily basis to reach 1,333 on December 28.

Aaditya Thackeray, who is also the guardian minister of Mumbai suburban district, said double-decker buses operated by the BEST will run on either electrical energy or hydrogen fuel cells, whichever is more capable.

Singh said another target laid down in the new policy was to establish one gigawatt of battery manufacturing capability in the state.

Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray said that the only factor that will decide extension of restrictions in the state is the number of COVID-19 cases.

Informing the public through his Twitter handle, the minister tweeted: "On having mild symptoms of COVID, I had myself tested and I am COVID positive. I request everyone who came in contact with me to get themselves tested."

Maharashtra Environment Minister said politics is limited only to elections and once elections are over, they get back to work.
