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

Dear Sir, How can you do such cheap talk? How can say that the win of Shiv Sena would help Hindus only? How can you conveniently choose to ignore the numerous problems being faced by the other communities as well? In fact, this current trend of religious bigotry by educated people like you is very disturbing.

Mr Iyer I fully agree with Mr Ajit. Why People Consider Hindu means a person who preach religion Hindu. When we say to a Pakistani a Paki the same way we consider the person who stays in Hindustan is Hindu. Therefore slogan goes as Hindu Rashtra, no matter whaterever religion you preach. But we have a very dirty politics to divide and rule and hence we are explained in otherway round which makes us to hate each other. The history says that all religion stayed peacefully like brothers and sisters and still we used to call Hindustan. Anyway thats anyother issue, going back to Shiv-Sena Bjp Alliance they had shown a good progress in doing their jobs. even when they were in Maharashtra for 5 years. They showed a keen progress of not only Mumbai but other cities of Maharashtra by thinking of infrastructure by building and widened roads. which was not done for 5 decades by the other ruler. Shiv Sena was defeated only because of Jhunka Bhakar. Balasaheb Motive was good, to serve the needy at low cost so that not only the beggars but also the strugglers who come to mumbai wont sleep without food. But the middle man including some Shakha Pramukh made by mistake and they did what they should not. The underground railway plan is very old for mumbai but it was scrapped by saying it is not feasible. Bjp alliance brought this scrap file up and started rethink on it. Much Hyped Bandra - Worli Bridge is again the think which started under their rule. There are so many things which shiv sena did and only saccha mumbaikar knows it. I hope they should come back once again in Maharashtra Loksabha and they should learn what they did mistake last time and should rule. Definetly they will do good not only to Mumbai but also for the Maharashtra.
