A full blown social media war on Tuesday broke out between Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray's son Aaditya and BJP Mumbai president Ashish Shelar over claiming credit for development works like a football ground, open garden and promenade in suburban Bandra.

Ashish Shelar Vs Aaditya Thackeray

It began with Aaditya, the president of Yuva Sena, tweeting..

Shelar responded, saying...

"What I have learnt in my short period as MLA is that good work sets an example. Sometimes other parties want credit for your work," the Mumbai BJP chief said.

"I feel awkward settling the score on credits for this MSRDC project. But if we don't give credit where (it is) due, development will get hurt," he said.

"This culture of putting your flag, taking post and blatantly stealing credit has brought our state down. We don't need to inherit this please," he said.

"Shiv Sena has never done anything like pet theme park, open garden, football," Shelar said.

Shelar said, on the promenade front, he got all stakeholders together, organised multiple meetings and got the architect finalised. "On football front, I promoted football all along. Got action plan finalized. Paid deposit. Now Aaditya Thackeray wants credit. Come on. Cheap," he tweeted.

Some of Shelar's tweets were deleted later.
