Though isuues in a civic elelction are by and large local, our reaction of "Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji, Jai Hindu Rashtra" would be entirely justified after Maharashtra's municipal elections results have been declared. Congratulations, Balasaheb. Well done saffronites, for socking the pinko fundoo media and their self-deluding opinion pollsters right on their faces. I say, what happened to CNN-HT, who, only a few days back were busy selling us their stupid, desk-manufactured, self-deluding hype of UPA on a 'roll?' Uddhav has his work cut out. If he reads the Hindu voters' minds right and strategises accordingly, he could have a possible national role too. Let the Shiv Sena shed its regional parochialism once and for all, and embrace unapologetic nationalism as its core creed. That's the way to go. For now, congratulations. But remember, the voter watches, too Jaganniwas Iyer
