The first of many...

This blog will be nuthing like the previous one..
its purely meant to jot down my opinions on everythin in life.

1st off.. its every1s pet "tear it down" topic.. politics.
its funny, how most will use "dirty politics" as a convenient excuse to NOT follow wats happenin in the intriguing world of politics and satta..
but more often than not.. its hard not to keep track of the more interestin moments in the only vocation for man.. which involves a whole lot of guts, luck, gift of the gab, money.. or in some cases.. a godfather/godmother..

wats been catchin my eye of late is the current rane Vs thackeray issue..
Its interestin.. why..? simple..
Malvan region was the shiv sena stronghold.. thanks to rane..
shiv sena for all its meritorious acts.. cant deny 1 thing.. more often than not.. their style has always bordered on the flashy,critical,satirical and "dadagiri" brand of politics.
Now when Rane, the right hand man who helped maintain the sena reign in the region switches allegiance to congress.. the question is.. who will stick his neck out against Rane..??
Shiv sena has tried everythin.. from tryin to rope in uddhav for campaignin..( poor show really..!!! n raj cudnt attend ..WHY?? back pain.).. to screamin themselves hoarse that their god+ raison d'etre balasaheb now wholeheartedly supports their new candidate parshuram uparkar ( an ex rane aide).. to even stagin gandhian non violence dharnas..( EGAAAKS..!!!!!wat next..??? “quit malwan movement”??!!)...

Most opinion polls will write off a sainik victory... but any1 who thinks congress has caught itself a goose tat lays a golden egg...will be proverbially counting their chickens before the eggs hatch.
Rane himself knows better than to assume this battle to be a cakewalk.
Rane can’t register the mammoth win, he thought he could manage earlier, and the Sena is still struggling to get a foothold in the contest.
Rane is doing his best.. with the usual mix of support from political heavyweights to promising a domestic airport…but his political past.. (where NCP+Congress leaders in the region still hold him responsible for the killing of local NCP leader Satyavijay Bhise and local congress leader shreedhar naik)..might yet prove to be a thorn in an otherwise smooth campaign.
Sena is tryin to work the Thackeray magic.. and try and put the spotlight on everythin tat Rane did rong durin his sena tenure.


Tom is supposed to be the D day .. and for either side.. its a matter of prestige.
Shiv sena needs to win to show the rest of the world tat its still a tiger.. and not just a domestic cat tat is restricted to the corridoors of the BMC.
Rane needs to win.. to prove congress that it was indeed him tat Malwan voted for year after year.. all these years..!

1 Your take:

An update on the issue:

Rane bagged 78,616 votes while Uparkar got 15,244 votes.

Now Rane is asking Uddhav to resign.. askin him to take responsibility for the sena's defeat.

another piece of gossip i heard. Seems the lalbaug+parel area which is the Sena domain in mumbai.. is full of Rane supporters (within the sena: workers +local leaders).. and many imp mandals refused to allow top sena leaders to get a darshan of most of the ganpati idols durin ganesh chaturthi.. in open support of rane.

time for balasaheb to sit up n realise... Sena is headin for splitsville.. uddhav doesnt enjoy the respect, love that other senior leaders enjoy.. for the sake of stability..let more deservin candidates take over the sena.
