Maharashtra MLA and former minister Aaditya Thackeray recently claimed that before allying with the BJP, present chief minister Eknath Shinde came to Matoshree and cried that he would be put in jail if he did not join the BJP. Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday said it is 100% correct as Raut claimed Shinde told him the same thing. “I tried to make him (Shinde) understand. But he was visibly scared of jail. What Aaditya said is right,” Sanjay Raut said.
On being asked about how pampered a grandson he was of Balasaheb Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray too a jibe at Shinde and said, “Now many people in Maharashtra are claiming that they were pampered by my grandfather.”
Speaking at Hyderabad’s Gitam, Aaditya said, “There is only one Shiv Sena and the others are traitors. They have tried to steal everything from us. The chief minister has gone to Delhi I think probably because he now wants our surname Thackeray too. Someone who has run away with everything only gets the tag of a ‘chor’,” Aaditya Thackeray said.
