Aditya Thackeray slams BJP-Shinde govt over Funds Misuse and Campaign Manipulation| WATCH

Aditya Thackeray accused the BJP-Shinde government of misusing public funds, including spending ₹74 crore on painting Metro walls instead of addressing critical issues like farmers' welfare, roads, pensions, and healthcare. He alleged that 90,000 workers from Gujarat have been brought in to manipulate Maharashtra elections, turning it into a battle for Gujarat rather than Maharashtra. Promising strict action against corruption and wrongdoing, Thackeray urged voters to back Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) for the state's better future. #AdityaThackeray #MVA #MaharashtraElections2024 #BJPShindeGovt #FarmersWelfare #MetroWallControversy #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.318~ED.101~PR.362~GR.344~
