Today is a great day, its the festival of Shiv Ratri, The night which belongs to lord shiva. It seems that the self proclaimed Shaniks of Shiva are not going to have a good nights sleep. Shiv - Sena has lost the plot miserably. With My Name is Khan going good everywhere, Mr. Thakre has announced that 'anyone who watches the movie is not a patriot and is an agent of Pakistan'. Now, that is the statement coming from a 80 year old man who was once the roaring tiger of maharashtra. This gentleman has never fought an election but says he is the only representative of the people. He rose to power with the slogan 'hatao lungi bajao pungi', aimed at south indian diaspora in mumbai. Decades later when his ship began to leak and his nephew took the centre stage hogging the limeligt meant for his photographer son, all of a sudden MARATHI MANUS came back to Thakres agenda.
This time the targets were the migrants from north India, but it was proving costly for the local business including his own to survive without North Indian labour. So, Old father and the adult son decided to try some marketing. They found a soft target, which in some ways represents North Indians, they started with Amitabh Bachchan but Bachchan turned out to be a pro. Then they hit SRK, SRK may or may not have had a vested interes, he stood by his words.
Unfortunatly for SENA this move has backfired, MNIK gained a lo from this goof up, congress party had its share and above all it united all of India and the idea of Marathi Manus (if one was there) got side lined. Sena got exposed for its vandalism and gundagardi.
I would not be surprised if SHIV - Sena changes its name to SHAV - Sena (the dead army) after the next assembly election.
