Here’s the tweet
The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi, an alliance of Shiv Sena, Congress and Nationalist Congress Party, formed the government in Maharashtra after a thrilling battle for power that also involved the Bharatiya Janata Party. The BJP-Shiv Sena faced off on who will form the government after winning the elections as an alliance. Ex-Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis had also taken the oath to return to the CM's chair, with NCP’s Ajit Pawar as a Deputy CM, but the latter’s uncle Sharad Pawar ensured that NCP was going with Congress and Shiv Sena. When Uddhav Thackeray had taken oath as CM, several Bollywood stars like Anil Kapoor, Hema Malini and Simi Garewal had congratulated him.
Before Hansal, another celebrity, Sumona Chakravarthy had written to the Maharashtra CM that North Mumbai needs better roads instead of an aquarium, that the government is planning to set up. She had tweeted, “We need better Roads. Every lane, bylane, street, road, highway... Can North bombay have pothole free roads like SoBo first @OfficeofUT.”
Hansal, meanwhile, is currently gearing up for the release of Chhalaang. The movie brings him back with his frequent collaborator Rajkummar Rao. Nushrat Bharucha is paired opposite Rajkummar.
