Raj Thackeray proclaimed new ‘Hindu Hridaysamrat’

Sending shockwaves in the ruling establishment, a Maharashtra Navnirman Sena functionary proclaimed that the (MNS) party chief Raj Thackeray would henceforth be the “new Hindu Hridaysamrat”, here on Thursday.

Thane MNS President Avinash Jadhav’s statement was greeted with thunderous applause at a massive MNS state convention which kick-started at the NSE Grounds, in suburban Goregaon.

The founder of Shiv Sena, the late Balasaheb Thackeray was usually referred to as the ‘Hindu Hridaysamrat’, (Emperor of Hindu Hearts) within the party and outside.

Significantly, the announcement on Raj Thackeray came on the day the Shiv Sena is celebrating the 94th birth anniversary of its founder-patriarch with a grand felicitation planned for his son and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray later today.

The development comes amid changed political permutations and combinations after the Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress joined hands to form the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government headed by Uddhav Thackeray, Raj Thackeray’s estranged cousin.

Hitting back, senior Sena leader Anil Parab said that only the late Balasaheb Thackeray is the ‘Hindu Hridaysamrat’ and nobody else can claim to replace him, but declined to comment if his nephew Raj Thackeray was attempting to ‘hijack’ the title.

The MNS is now quietly cosying up to the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party and attempting to fill up the ‘Hindutva’ vacuum created after the Shiv Sena split from the BJP.-IANS News
