Aaditya Thackeray joins MPSC protest in Pune, demands chairman's resignation

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray joined protesting MPSC aspirants in Pune on Tuesday, backing their demand for chairman Vivek Bhimanwar's resignation over alleged exam and recruitment irregularities. Thackeray compared the protest to the national opposition campaign seeking Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's removal, claiming both officials are "backed by two kings" and vowing to secure both resignations. He also criticized the Mahayuti government, calling it a "gang of thieves." The MPSC protests in Pune have continued for six days, with aspirants demanding Bhimanwar's resignation as their primary grievance, alongside other issues such as exam format changes. Thackeray also referenced the detention of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra during their Election Commission visit.
