विधानसभा निवडणुकीत नेमके काय चुकले, याचे प्रामाणिकपणे आत्मपरीक्षण करण्याऐवजी शिवसेना नेतृत्वाने आपल्या दारूण पराभवाचे खापर महाराष्ट्रातील तरूणाईवर फोडले आहे. ज्यांना शिवसेनेचा व महाराष्ट्राचा इतिहास माहीत नाही, अशा नव्या पिढीच्या तरूणाईने मराठी एकजुटीच्या ठिक-या उडवल्या, असा दोषारोपने शिवसेनेच्या मुखपत्रातील अग्रलेखात करण्यात आला आहे.
