Shiv Sena victory hits opponents hard
Raj Thackeray and Narayan Rane's exit was believed to have dealt near-fatal, twin body blows to the Shiv Sena until it rebounded with a resounding victory in the 2007 BMC elections. While the tiger is still roaring, the cubs have been left licking their wounds, reports CNBC-TV18.
The celebrations that began outside Bal Thackeray’s Matoshree residence told the story. For a party which was being written off only weeks ago this was a turnaround of sorts. Predictably the heroes for the Shiv Sena were the father-son duo of Bal and Uddhav Thackeray especially Udhav who had taken responsibility for the party's campaign.
Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi says, “Uddhav Thackeray is like Sachin Tendulkar." By contrast, the Congress headquarters outside the Bombay Municipal Corporation wore a deserted look.
For Uddhav Thackeray, the man who was written off by one and all, the municipal elections have given him a second lease of life. With the Sena likely to be once again in power at the country's richest civic body, its the Congress-NCP alliance which will have to ask itself some searching questions.
Some voter's comments:
The Fact is that Congress is a party which supports minorities in all matters and due to this the middle class suffers and is still suffering... be it reservation or taxation... Shiv Sena and BJP at least think of the Middle class and so it up to us to go out and vote
Not minorities, just the muslims and that too for their votes, they have no ideology except self-preservation, it is up to the vast hindu middle-class to fulfil their duties to their country and show tv-happy pseudo-secularists their place
Politics and religion are two separate entitities in a society. It is not uncommon, though for political parties in India to use religion to secure vote banks. This is blatant manipulation of the Indian society. Fortunately, with education, emphasis on a brighter economy and broader exposure to global politics, have ensured that this is changing. Politics is not a game played by radicals. Religion should not be the theme in a political manifesto. I urge fellow voters to vote for the 'better' party, based on overall upliftment of the country, and not vested interest in their own religion or community. 60 years into our independence, we have a Muslim President and a Sikh Prime Minister. Let this be the first step in more practical and rational elections, which will ensure stability (needed so badly for the economy to keep shining)..
If you are 1 among the 78% and going down Hindu in the country.. think about this.. and no offense to anybody as such.. Congress is good in some areas.. but it has too many weakness to be a party we can believe in.. I will say the bigger one is rise of Christiuanity in the country and more so the conversion angle going rampant.. Vatican is trying hellbent to convert as much as Indians to Christianity as possible.. For so many years world said population is bad.. Now suddenly they see the power of India is in its 1 billion.. however that 1 billion is not Christian, but mostly Hindu.. so they identified the Achilles heel which was the dalith/lower caste section (which mind you is about 30%) for conversion.. Just think of the dynamics.. If these 30% go over to Christianity then Hindus are actually on threshold of becoming minority.. Muslims as we always know are never going to completely take the side of India as a country.. i.e they will never integrate they will have hundreds of issue.. we need a place on earth (and what is wrong in that??) where we can practice Hindu traditions the Divalis the diyas (And not candles) then we need a party that beleives in that ism.
Whoever be the winner i know the loser. Its WE THE PEOPLe
Our Country under Manmohan Singh and P. C. hasn't really achieved anything and let\'s not talk about this Congress. This party right from the day we became independent, has made the citizens insecure and selfish; however the Congressmen have prospered and have created wealth for themselves.

IMO: Global warming may be the true issue. Certainly in the Bay of Bengal a lot of land has already been lost to the sea, and I thought really hard about sea level before purchasing my small ground floor Mumbai flat. In adjacent blocks a number of people were flooded out recently - and left. It will be even worse for those with next to no money and no real living space, bad enough now for them in all fairness. A lot to be done. Certainly reason and tolerance do not seem much of an answer either. In the UK, essentially the minorities are often much more trouble than anything else. e.g. Muslims, the main minority, are attacking UK army members to torture and then kill them and the Scots simply seek independence, ridiculous as turning one tiny country (UK) into two tinier countries is going to make things much worse, even B.Liar is against that ! The whole population of Scotland is barely as big in population as Vasai and smaller than the population of Thane ! Nobody is yet looking to have Vasai independent of India. So the UK are actually worse at politics than India to have such a dilemma.
IMO: India could solve the world's climate problems and benefit greatly thereby. This really can happen and may have to. India could within a generation become the worlds leading nation. Jai Hind !!!
