Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday alleged that open spaces in Mumbai were being handed over to people and organisations linked to the ruling BJP, reported the PTI.

Addressing a press conference, Thackeray announced a ‘Tiranga’ rally in Bandra on Sunday to protest against what he described as decisions to privatise public open spaces. He said the protest would be non-political and would be attended by the Congress and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).
