In a sharp retort to Uddhav Thackeray's recent claims, Maharashtra BJP President Chandrashekhar Bawankule launched a scathing attack on Sunday, implying that if a survey were conducted to identify the most "worthless" individuals in Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief would most likely rank first.

Uddhav Thackeray, on Saturday, during a rally in Mumbai's Dharavi claimed that Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had told him that he (Fadnavis) would train Aaditya to become the CM and the latter would move to Delhi. At the time, the parties were allies.
