Aaditya Thackeray calls current Maharashtra govt 'autocratic, dictatorial and opaque'

Hyderabad/UNI: Aaditya Thackeray, the President of Yuva Sena and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, slammed the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government as being "autocratic, dictatorial, and opaque".

Thackeray also accused the government of stealing the party logo and name and called them "traitors".

Speaking at an event at GITAM (Deemed to be University) in Hyderabad on Tuesday, Thackeray expressed concern over Maharashtra's decline in terms of investment, tourism, sustainability, and urban growth and attributed it to political instability, a statement said.

He stated that during the NDA government, Maharashtra was one of the top five states in terms of COVID response, investment, and communal harmony.

However, he claimed that under the current government, Maharashtra is no longer an attractive state for investment due to political instability.

Thackeray criticized the government for suppressing opposition and alternate voices and stated that the country is in an "undeclared Emergency".

He emphasized the importance of having debates and discussions and expressed faith in the people and the judiciary.

Thackeray highlighted the importance of focusing on core issues like unemployment, inflation, and other problems faced by citizens instead of engaging in divisive debates like religion vs religion, region vs region, etc.

He emphasized the need for discussing the right things for the future generation's benefit rather than fighting over past personalities or events.

Thackeray also expressed concerns about India's falling behind in the area of innovation and suggested that trusting younger people to innovate, find solutions and bring change is crucial.

He further stressed that remaining anchored to the ground and connecting with people is necessary for politicians to understand the pulse of the public.

Regarding AI and politics, Thackeray said that politics is the only profession that can impact a billion lives in India, and positive syncing with technology and corporations could be the way forward.

However, he joked that with the current way politics is being conducted, people might soon choose AI over politicians.
