Even as trading of barbs between the BJP and the Shiv Sena continue over various topics of national interest, the former has commended the Yuva Sena's recent contribution to the prime minister's Swachhta Hi Sewa campaign. Hours after Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray hit the streets of Bandra as part of the cleanliness drive, PM Narendra Modi, welcoming his efforts, tweeted, "I congratulate my young friend @AUThackeray for participating in a cleanliness initiative in Mumbai & adding momentum to #SwachhataHiSeva (sic)."
