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.
