Aditya Thackeray looks to give the Shiv Sena a make over
An 11 km stretch along the main road between Marine Lines and Worli reserved exclusively for cyclists and walkers on Sunday mornings! Sounds fantastic? Happens to be true. Mumbai’s first cycle track, which opened on the morning of December 3, is part of how Shiv Sena scion Aditya Thackeray is trying to reinvent the party as a modern political entity.
A law graduate, the 26-year-old Aditya has come a long way from his rabble-rouser beginnings in the Yuva Sena, the party’s youth wing. Today, it’s the cosmopolitan aspirations of the city’s youth he is tuning into. Also, why he has pushed the party-controlled BMC (Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation) into permitting rooftop parties and all-night eateries in areas where these were restricted.
