Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray on Sunday slammed the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena for taking credit for erecting the statue of Balasaheb Thackeray in Colaba, and called them “liars” and “shameless”.“You can see how much of a liar someone can be by looking at these shameless people… Just as these thieves are trying to take credit for the Coastal Road, today a hoarding was put up saying that these liars also installed a statue of the venerable Balasaheb Thackeray. The location of the statue and its design were decided by Uddhav Thackeray, it was installed by Uddhavji, and even the money was paid by Uddhav Thackeray. But a thief is a thief… they can never go straight… In Shinde’s mirror, do they even see their own face, or is that stolen too?” Aaditya said in a post on X.Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray said: “I chose the place where the statue of Balasaheb was erected, at Regal Cinema junction. We also paid for it. Still, Shinde is taking credit.”
