Mumbai: Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray took potshots at the BJP here today and said that it has become a trend to display fake degrees.

"It has become a trend in politics to display fake degrees. Simply do the right thing. Why run behind false things," Thackeray said, without naming anybody including Maharashtra Education Minister Vinod Tawde or Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani, at a book launch function in suburban Dadar.
