The Shiv Sena is now all set to glorify the humble vada pao, a favourite snack of Mumbaikars. Calling it the patent of the party, Sena chief Bal Thackeray said in an editorial in Saamna on Monday that the snack would be renamed “Shiv vada pao”.

In a bid to consolidate its son-of-the-soil stand, the Sena is going all out to woo vada pao vendors and unionise them.

With the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena vying for Maharashtrian loyalty, members of the Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena went on the rampage here on Sunday, burning copies of Bombay Times and wrecking boards of Bombay Dyeing and the Bombay Scottish School. The Sena demanded that all names be changed to Mumbai.
