Former Environment Minister of Maharashtra, Aaditya Thackeray, has condemned the state government led by Eknath Shinde for chopping down a 300-year-old Baobab tree in Santacruz West, alleging it was done in the name of development. Thackeray criticized the ruling party for prioritizing infrastructure over preserving the city’s natural heritage.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has slammed the Shiv Sena UBT and Congress for derogatory comments made against him. Shinde’s remarks came in response to Aaditya Thackeray’s accusations of stabbing his mentor in the back and cheating Maharashtra. Shinde, during a rally in Pathri, Parbhani, defended himself against the personal attacks, emphasizing that the public will hold them accountable through their votes. He also denounced the UBT and Congress for prioritizing corruption over national interests and criticized them for their online activism instead of ground-level work.
