Speaking to reporters, Aaditya Thackeray said, "We have been waiting for this for the last 2 years. Elections have been announced. We had hoped for justice from the Court but it didn't happen. We now hope that we will get justice in the court of the people."
"We have been seeing the loot of Maharashtra for the last 2 years, unemployed youth are everywhere but all the industries and job opportunities are going to Gujarat. The entire Maharashtra knows that the state has been run by Gujarat for the last 2 years," he added.
