Mumbai: Mumbai Police has registered a case against three leaders of Uddhav Thackeray factions, Aditya Thackeray, MLC Sunil Shinde and MLC Sachin Ahir.  

A police officer said that an FIR has been registered in connection with the inauguration of the lane of the Lower Parel flyover bridge. An officer of the Road Department of Mumbai Municipal Corporation came to NM Joshi Police Station at around 10 pm on Friday night and lodged a complaint against them.

A complaint was filed by the road department of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation at the NM Joshi police station and thereafter a case was registered under sections 143, 149, 326, and 447 of the IPC.

Aditya Thackeray Inaugurated Delisle Road Bridge Fully

According to the Mumbai Police, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray along with Sunil Shinde, Sachin Ahir, former Mayor Kishori Pednekar, Former Mayor Snehal Ambekar and 15-20 activists, went to the location and inaugurated the bridge.

The Delisle Road Bridge was not fully ready for traffic and there was no permission from the Mumbai municipal corporation to open the bridge. The BMC officer complained to the police, on the basis of which the police registered a case against Aditya Thackeray and other party leaders.

‘Bridge Opened Taking Note Of Public Suffering’: Aaditya Thackeray

The UBT Shiv Sena leader cited “Public suffering” behind opening of the bridge without the permission of the BMC.”While we waited on the BMC to open the full bridge to people for use, it has been almost 10 days that the other side has been ready and waiting for a VIP to inaugurate it. We inaugurated it last night and today, the BMC under the pressure of Khoke Sarkar has closed it down again, waiting for a govt inauguration, only to trouble the citizens of Mumbai. Why can’t it be thrown open for the people instead of waiting for the guardian minister’s ego and convenience? Open it!”, Aditya Thackeray said in a post on X.

Lower Parel Bridge Was Shut 5 Years Ago

The Delisle Road Bridge is a crucial link between Lower Parel, Worli, Prabhadevi, and Currey roads in the west and Byculla and other areas in the east. It was shut on July 24, 2018, after being declared unsafe by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

Earlier Aaditya Thackeray had also questioned the delay by the Maharashtra government in the inauguration of the Navi Mumbai Metro Rail services. The Metro was inaugurated on November 17.My only demand was, if the ministers of this extra-constitutional government do not have time to inaugurate the metro, then start the metro for the people without the inauguration. In the current Shinde-BJP regime, the party comes first and public comes last. They have time to promote their party, but not to inaugurate Navi Mumbai Metro. Delisle Road Bridge is the same way” Aditya Thackeray had said in his post on November 16.

Mumbai: ‘Aaditya Thackeray Puppet Of Urban Naxals, Spreading Fake Narrative On Dharavi Redevelopment Project’, Says Ashish Shelar

Mumbai: 'Aaditya Thackeray Puppet Of Urban Naxals, Spreading Fake Narrative On Dharavi Redevelopment Project', Says Ashish Shelar

Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar challenged the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray for a debate and said the later is the spokesperson for the urban naxals. “Aaditya Thackeray and Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad have spread misconceptions, lies and fake narratives on the Dharavi Redevelopment Project. Aaditya lacks knowledge of the tender. He is a puppet of urban naxals,” Shelar said in the press conference in Mumbai on Thursday.

Speaking over the Dharavi’s redevelopment project, Shelar said that the project is a necessity and is a priority project, adding that Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena and Congress leader Varsha Gaikwad are peddling lies in the name of Adani.

Aaditya is the MLA from Worli constituency and Varsha Gaikwad, the Mumbai Congress chief is elected as the MP from Mumbai North Central constituency. She is the former MLA from Dharavi constituency.

Shelar, the MLA from Bandra questioned Thackeray and Gaikwad that when 70 per cent of the homes in Dharavi Redevelopment Project will go to Marathi people, Muslims and Dalits, then why are they putting roadblocks in the project by creating false narrative?

Giving update on the Dharavi redevelopment project, Shelar said that currently the government survey is underay to determine eligible of the residents. So far only around 20,000 structures have been surveyed. “How can Aaditya Thackeray claim 7 lakh people will be sent out of Dharavi when survey is yet to be completed?”

Around 430 acres of land is available on which there will be infrastructure development, open spaces, gardens etc. Hence more space is being taken up to give everyone a home. So why is Aaditya opposing it?

“Aaditya Thackeray claims that 1,800 acres of land has been given to Adani. I challenge him to show one document that proves it and I will quit politics. If not, he should retire from politics,” Shelar said.
