Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray will join protesting MPSC aspirants in Pune on Tuesday (October 6, 2026), stepping up the Opposition’s support for students demanding the removal of commission chairman Vivek Bhimanwar and changes in the recruitment body’s functioning.

Mr. Thackeray announced his visit in a post on X on Monday (October 5), saying he had spoken to Vivekanand Patil and would sit with the protesting students in Pune on Tuesday (October 5).

“I have just spoken to Vivekanand Patil. Tomorrow, I will go and sit with the students participating in the MPSC agitation in Pune,” Mr. Thackeray said.

Addressing the MPSC chairperson, Mr. Thackeray questioned why he continued in office despite Opposition from aspirants. “Thousands and lakhs of students are rejecting you and asking you to step aside,” he said, asking whether students would have to gather outside the MPSC office before the chairman resigned.
