Mumbai belongs to...

Its high time the political parties, which think the general people of India are idiots, are taught a lesson. Look at Shiv-Sena. Very conveniently raising and dropping the issue of Marathi manoos. Came into existence keeping the Samyukta Maharashtra issue to the fore, then for four decades did nothing noteworthy for its constituency except organizing some vandalism and uncivil acts, which I donot think made any Marathi proud. Look at achievement: was voted to power only once for 5 years, that too as a coalition, after four decades of its inception. The reign saw the true picture. Except rechristening the city from Bombay to Mumbai, one has to grope to find any other noted achievement. One more decade has passed by and the people keep on rejecting it in ballot. But who cares? The patriarch of Matoshree has an over-estimation on his quality. He thinks he is the self-proclaimed guardian of Marathis. The person who cannot hold his family and party together, imagines to hold the Marathi issue. What a fallacy!! But the greater disappointment is with the Congress. Its baffling to see the party not coming down heavily on a party which swears by hatred, hooliganism and everything the constitution of the land bars from. Both these parties have failed the people of Maharashtra. Shiv Sena by its indecent, uncivilized, autocratic ways and Congress by its ambivalence to take a stand, mouthing only platitudes. The irony is Thackerey is himself a migrant to the city and investigation must happen for his property - how the cartoonist turned politician earned so much when he was away from power for most of his life. Just to rack up old issues to mend dwindling political base, one cannot do acts of constitutional blasphemy at his will. Mukesh Ambani, Sachin Tendulkar, Big B, SRK are national jewels, not a rejected and dispensable force like the Sena. Wondering why do they not get the message and the verdict of the people. The fact that people donot want them, is lost on them or they are too unabashed. To deal with them, we need a strong leader who will pay them back in the same coin. For now it seems Congress is too coy to react.
