Twitter users remind Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray about his promise of declaring Aarey a forest if voted to power with #AadityaTeraVaada

Aaditya Thackeray had criticised the Aarey tree-cutting for the Metro car shed
After Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray won an Assembly seat from the Worli constituency on Wednesday, #AadityaTeraVaada began making the rounds on social media reminding Aaditya of his promises. Mumbaikars and nature-lovers who have been opposing the tree-cutting in Aarey took to Twitter reminding Thackeray junior of his claims with regard to declaring Aarey a forest.
Thackeray and his party had opposed the Metro car-shed proposal in the BMC. Aaditya had also criticised the MMRCL and its officials for undertaking tree-cutting at Aarey in the night. Many had then slammed Aaditya for being a mere Twitter activist. He had in turn publicly stated that if the Sena came to power, he would ensure that Aarey would be declared as a forest to protect its biodiversity. The Aarey Milk Colony, however, did not feature in the party's election manifesto.
