1/ #PoliticallySpeaking
The demolition of Kangana's illegal office premises couldnt have happened at a better time for Shiv Sena.
Shiv Sena and their Chief Uddhav Thackrey have been on a backfoot since the time they hugged and cuddled with the MVA twosome of NCP and
2/ Congress.
Over the period of Uddhav Thackrey becoming the CM till now, UT has been relegated as the "Puppet of Pawar" and Aditya has been shoved around being called the "Pappu of Shiv Sena".
So much that on ground, the murmurs in the Sainik groups gave an evident
3/ inclinations of them thinking their boss being spineless and a "no match to Balasaheb".
There was a growing resentment in the Sainiks of the swing of the Sena leadership away from the confrontational and aggressive politics that Sena has been known for and have garnered
4/ a vote bank from.
Meanwhile, the #JusticeForSSR was losing momentum and its credibility as 3 top investigaton agencies could find nothing more than gossip and 59 gms of ganja.
Enter Kangana with her rabid vitriol and the Fadanvis camp of BJP wholeheartedly backing her.
5/ "Muhfatt hai, benefit le lete hai" was the obvious strategy being used by BJP as they happily placed their guns on Kangana's shoulders and fired away at the CM putting him in a corner.
But Kangana is Kangana and you never ever fire your gun from the shoulders of a crazy
6/ person coz you never know which way that person would turn.
Kangana's comments comparing Mumbai with Pakistan and Mumbai Police with "Babur's Army" did not go down well with the staunch "Jai Bhavani Jai Shivaji" supporters.
She single handedly shifted whatever support
7/ BJP enjoyed in Maharashtra (from the non Bhakts) away from the BJP.
BJP leaders have been trapped and are visibly at discomfort trying to distance themselves from her comments against the pride of "Marathi Manoos" while still trying to clutch at straws and see if this
8/ can be used to attack the Sena-NCP-Congress Govt.
The demolition of Kangana's office does not appear to be a knee jerk reaction at all.
It was a well planned move which brought the Sena back into action, in its original form, and yet did not have to get on the streets,
9/ blacken someone's face and parade him/her on a donkey.
The move by BMC itself can be debated.
Is it one made out of vengeance ... hell yeah !!!
Is it politically motivated .... Absolutely.
Is the timing suspect ..... suspect?? its a confirmation.
And yet, all
10/ they did was demolish an illegal structure and were perfectly within their rights to do so.
Those people who are going around shouting, "So why not they demolished other illegal structures" are just the offshoots of "What about Malda?".
There is no written word which
11/ says that all criminals of one crime should be rounded up before one criminal can be taken action against. Such a demand is just plain stupid.
So while the actions of BMC can be faulted for being politically motivated, what you cannot fault them for is doing what is a
12/ legal thing to do. Which makes taking sides very tricky.
The Sena used legal means to extract vengeance against a rabid hatemonger...... this is the most you can fault them for, any way you put it.
All in all this move works in the advantage of the Sena putting them
13/ right back on the driver's seat of the Maharashtra Politics.
The move sends a clear message to the Sainiks .... "Tiger Zinda Hai".
He is just a smarter and probably a softer tiger.
The spirit of Lalbaug Paral and Dadar Sainiks is one of jubiliation as they watch
14/ their leaders come back with the same aggression that they were used to.
With this episode Shiv Sena has scored a big one with their vote bank.
As for those who are talking about the "Right" and the "Wrong", remember your votes and my vote doesnt count much.
Would
15/ Sena like our votes? Sure...
Would Sena like our votes at the cost of their own votebank? Hell no....
As for Kangana .... she will do what she does till she can do it till the patronage of BJP lasts for her.
That she would get a BJP ticket would only happen if BJP is
16/ stupid enough to let loose a raving ranting knucklehead in their own camp.
That she will become the "face of BJP" against MVA is a concluson which is laughable at the best and immature at the worst.
As far as Maharashtra is concerned, "Mumbai is Pakistan Occupied
17/ Kashmir" has just put her in a severe disfavor with anyone who does not belong to the Kangana camp.
Disclaimer: Those who are giving advice to Shiv Sena on how they should be doing politics, remember, the MVA was formed and the BJP was totally outfoxed and outwitted
18/ because of the strategy of Sharad Pawar and the compliance shown by Shiv Sena and Congress ... not because of your "well meaning" advice.
