Raj, when you broke away from your uncle, you took your own time to frame the ideology, toured Maharashtra to find out the problems people face, criticized your own uncle, the previous governments, policies on the population in Mumbai, roads in Pune and such. There was hope. We thought, at last, the eroding thought-leadership of Maharashtra in politics is now on restraint. We have someone to follow the ideals from not just Shivaji, but also the clichéd Phule, Tilak, Ambedkar, even Vasant Rao Naik or Anna Hazare for that matter. This blog even asked what does Raj stand for. And now we know. But what do we have here? Nothing more than hooligans causing problems and making situations acerbic.
As they say, like begets like. An offspring of Shiv Sena may not be very different from its parent. And though it is senseless to ask this question, I still wonder, how the Prabodhankar would have felt if he were alive today.
