The name is Thackeray
The unreasonable raging over the release of Sharh Rukh Khan's 'My name is Khan' sounds the last card on the deck for Balasaheb to recapture the lost glory of Shiv Sena. The party has been on a political decline over the past few years.
“MY NAME is Thackeray and I am feudalist".
This is the mantra that is roaring in Mumbai again. Uddhav Thackeray’s stint as the chief of Shiv Sena has been in the news for all other reasons but for electoral conquests!
Indulging in baseless disputes with national icons Shiv Sena is only attracting more trouble. For any political front to progress there is a need of young blood and today’s Marathi youngsters too watch SRK and adore Sachin Tendulkar like their counterparts in any other state. The ideology of the Saniks has remained unchanged but its appeal has without doubt diminished. Further their support has been diluted thanks to the "Raj" effect.
What next? This would always be a hypothetical question for any analyst. But given the state of affairs at present, Shiv Sena definitely needs to reinvent itself. Neither will Karan Johar stop making movies nor will Lalit Modi exclude Sachin from the cricket side bowing to the Thackeray. Australia will continue to tour India for cricket tournaments and Kasab will never be hanged in open public and thanks to the declining command of the Saniks, Maharashtra Nava Nirmansena will continue to hijack the glory, the state although would remain the same more or less. Vidharbha will continue to make news for suicides of farmers; the backwardness of the rural Maharashtra will continue thereby turning the "manoos" into the real victim.
Shiv Sena may have a strong electoral presence in the state but its insecurity is destroying the future of Maharashtra; the "Samna" and "Saheb" both need to realise the truth.
An eye for eye and tooth for tooth always creates victims not warriors.
Starting with the departure of Raj Thackeray, Shiv Sena has lost brick by brick its mammoth empire in the past few years. Just as Shakesphere's seventh age the Sena is now left with little to retain the throne. Shiv Sena's basic instinct of being "aggressive" is now left with fewer supporters compared to its golden 90's.
Shah Rukh Khan and similar issues are keeping the party so occupied in raising trouble that it has no time for any real issues. Given their electoral weight, their drift from mainstream issues clearly affirms the fact that Shiva Sonics today lack issues to take up. While the NCP - Congress combo is busy framing policies, MNS has practically seized the ‘Marathi manoos’ plight from Shiv Sena thereby leading to erosion of a conceptual base. Allies BJP too seems helpless having lost power for the second consecutive term at the centre.
