In yet another setback to the Uddhav Thackeray’s camp, the newly-formed Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government has ordered a review of all the development works and projects that were sanctioned by former minister and Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray.
Eknath Shinde government has ordered the review in the context of Aaditya Thackeray's constituency, Worli, getting relatively more funds. The examination has also been ordered into the projects he sanctioned as Maharashtra's Environment and Tourism Minister in the last 2.5 years.
Several ambitious development projects were undertaken by Thackeray in his home constituency-- Worli. On August 1, 2021, the MVA government formally commenced the redevelopment work for Worli, NM Joshi, and Naigaon BDD Chawls and dubbed it as 'one of the most ambitious redevelopment projects that our country has seen.'

It is well-known that Aaditya was instrumental in the establishment of a State Council for Climate Change to prepare an action plan to tackle the climate change crisis in Maharashtra. Besides, he took the lead to implement the state’s net-zero initiative whereby 43 cities of the state will join the United Nations-led ‘Race to Zero’ campaign.

In addition, the Central government-led by the BJP, has decided to audit his works related to the environment department and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) undertaken during the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
The Central audit has been initiated in the MPCB’s offices in Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Kolhapur, Chandrapur, Amaravati, Aurangabad, Nashik, Thane and Raigad, said sources.
Meanwhile, it is pertinent to note that within a day of assuming office, the Shinde-Fadnavis government had also decided to shift the Mumbai Metro 3 car shed back to Aarey, invoking the ire of the Thackerays.
