Aaditya Thackeray said the acronym "CM" of Maharashtra currently stands for a "corrupt man", and that the "illegal and unconstitutional chief minister will surely go".
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Sunday alleged the Election Commission is "completely compromised" and said its decision to recognise the faction led by Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde as the Shiv Sena and allot it the bow and arrow symbol was dangerous for democracy.
He said the acronym "CM" of Maharashtra currently stands for a "corrupt man", and that the "illegal and unconstitutional chief minister will surely go".
Addressing a meeting of the party workers in North Mumbai, Thackeray said the flaming torch (Mashaal) symbol allotted to Shiv Sena (UBT) is the only light that will brighten the darkness caused by the betrayal and back-stabbing.
He said the rebel MLAs led by Mr Shinde had done the "dirty work" of toppling a government that had done good work of tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and alleviating hardships of farmers affected by the cyclone and unseasonably rains when in power.
