On Saturday, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray stated that the government and the Chief Minister himself are "illegal and immoral."
"I think what is laughable is that this government itself is illegal. So who are they declaring illegal? As a result of my tweet, they opened the metro to the public...It is my constituency but I didn't say that we did this or they did this. I just said that the CM who is illegal, and immoral has no time for the public, for such projects. So, we should open this for the public," Aaditya Thackeray said.
