Shiv Sena's Youth Wing Chief Aditya Thackeray spoke to NDTV on his 24X7 night zones proposal in Mumbai.
Here are the highlights:
- I have evolved as a night person.
- Every party keeps evolving and we do different things in different decades
- This is monumental, this is huge. We have changed the words 'impossible', 'can't' and made it true.
- I can wear anything on the road at any time in the day or night, without people asking me questions. This is the greatest strength of Mumbai.
- When I proposed this idea then it was clean and clear.
- I don't think noise will be a problem.
- Mumbai is a safe city. It works on trust.
- We are working on a plan whereby if 90 per cent residents agree on bars in residential areas like carter road to remain open, then they will be allowed to stay open.
- I am also speaking to the transport department for trains and other things to stay open.
- I have already congratulated the Aam Admi Party or AAP and yes, if they compete with us in 2017 civic polls, all competition is good
