Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Saturday condemned Uttar Pradesh government's directive for food shops to display their owners' names saying that its an attempt by the BJP to create distance between people.

"This is an attempt by the BJP to create distance between people, I only ask that no matter whose nameplate it is, if he is a member of BJP, then is it appropriate or not?" Aaditya Thackeray said.
