In a fresh salvo, BJP MP Kirit Somaiya today challenged Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray to declare his family assets and income.
"I have today placed details of my income on website. I have not indulged in money laundering. Now, Uddhav Thackeray should also place his financial papers, about his and family assets and income, before public," Somaiya said.
Somaiya also asked Uddhav to clarify if Sena leaders had any links with seven companies, names of which he disclosed to the media.
Uddhav was unavailable for comments, however Shiv Sena MP Rahul Shewale said Somaiya should first make public income of BJP President Amit Shah.
Somaiya had last week alleged that Sena leaders were acting like godfathers of the dumping mafia and that's the reason Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had failed to close the Mulund dumping ground despite strictures and directives from the Bombay High Court.
Somaiya's retort had come after Shewale accused the former of taking up the Mulund dumping ground issue at the behest of a local developer.
"Is Uddhav Thackeray not closing down the Mulund dump because he is getting hafta (extortion money) from the nullah-cleaning and dumping mafia," Somaiya had asked.
