With BMC, TMC polls just a year away, woos Gujarati voters into liking Uddhav and vote Sena

@the_news_21

Mumbai: With just a year to go for the crucial elections to 10 Municipal Corporation’s that include the prestigious Mumbai and Thane civic bodies, the Shiv Sena has in right earnest begun to woo the Gujarati community. In a bid to tug the heart-strings of the Gujarati community ahead of the civic polls the Sena has coined a tag line “Mumbai Ma Jalebi Ne Fafda, Uddhav Thackeray Aapada” (As Jalebi and Fafda is dear to Gujarati’s in Mumbai, so is Uddhav Thackeray “ours” (Aapada).

The Sena has tried to take the gastronomical route to the heart of an average Gujarati voter who loves his Jalebi and traditional Gujarati snack Fafda and woo him to like Uddhav Thackeray and vote for Sena.

The party has invited select 100 Gujarati community leaders for a conclave at Gujarati Samaj Bhavan in suburban Jogeshwari on January 10.

Stepping up its tirade against the Gujarati leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, the Sena in a leaflet has argued that the arrogant, narrow minded Gujarati leadership Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that does not allow Maharashtrian leadership to grow cannot stand the sight of Sena president and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray doing a good job in pulling Mumbai and Maharashtra out of the Corona pandemic.

In a statement released by Sena national convener Hemraj Shah, the Sena states that the BJP leadership is restless as Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has snatched power from the arrogant and narrow minded Gujarati leadership of the BJP.

As against this Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray while assiduously cultivating the “Me Mumbaikar” brand image while at the same time preserving the inclusive, secular image of Maharashtra. It further argues that CM Thackeray has been doing a good job of pulling Mumbai and Maharashtra out of the crisis unleashed by the Corona pandemic.

The Sena leaflet further retorts that the narrow minded Gujarati leadership of the BJP cannot stand the good work being done by Thackeray. It further accuses the Gujarati community leadership of the BJP of vowing to pull down the saffron flag flying atop the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The Sena has made the BMC elections a matter of prestige and hence has invited the Gujarati community to the conclave.

The 10 Municipal Corporations’ that will go to polls in February 2022 include – Mumbai, Thane, Ulhasnagar, Bhiwandi-Nizampur and Mira Bhayandar. These urban metros in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) have a sizeable Gujarati community population and hence the Sena is leaving no stone unturned in its bid to woo the Gujarati community to its side. It remains to be seen as to how the Gujarati community here takes a view of the Sena’s criticism of Modi and Shah.
