YUVA shivsena chief Aaditya Thackeray filed his nomination papers to contest the Maharashtra polls from Worli.
Aaditya is first from his family to début on the political pitch ever since his grandfather Bal Thackeray founded the Shiv Sena, Aaditya walked worli in a show of strength by BJP’s ally that has projected him as the chief ministerial face. Uddhav Thackeray had last week recalled the “promise” he had made to his late father to install a ‘Shiv Sainik‘ (party worker) as face of party .
The roadshow began from the party office in Lower Parel and culminated at the BMC Engineering Hub in Worli, where Aaditya filed his nomination papers. His father and Sena chief thanked the party for placing their trust .
From ‘Kem Cho Worli‘ in Gujarati to ‘Namaste Worli‘ in Marathi and Kannada, junior Thackeray’s picture waving at Mumbai was put up in the area . Aaditya is said to be a “pale imitation” of his grandfather Balasaheb . The posters could thus be seen as Sena’s attempt to transform the nature of the party ,” he said.
