MNS chief Raj Thackeray fired a fresh salvo on Monday when he demanded that all 288 newly elected legislators take their oaths in Marathi or face the "MNS music''. "If anyone dares not to take the oath in Marathi, you will see what my MLAs can do. They will create a ruckus in the house,'' he warned while addressing the media at MIG Club, Bandra (East). The MNS has 13 MLAs, six from Mumbai. read more »

महाराष्ट्रात येत्या तीन वर्षांत अखंड वीजपुरवठा, सन २००० पर्यंतच्या झोपडपट्टीवासियांना पक्की घरे, मुंबईत पायाभूत सोयींच्या विकास प्रकल्पांची वेगवान अमलबजावणी, गृहबांधणीचा राज्यभर व्यापक कार्यक्रम आणि शेतकऱ्यांच्या कल्याण योजनांची कसोशीने अमलबजावणी याला आपले सरकार प्राधान्य देईल, अशी ग्वाही मुख्यमंत्रीपदावर पुन्हा आरूढ झालेले अशोक चव्हाण यांनी दिल्लीत पहिल्याच पत्रकार परिषदेत दिली. read more »

यंदाच्या विधानसभा निवडणुकीचे ठळक वैशिष्ट्य कोणते, या प्रश्नाचे उत्तर राज ठाकरे यांच्या मनसेने रोवलेला 'तीन लोकी झेंडा' हेच असल्याचे पदार्पणातच १३ आमदार विधानसभेत पाठवून, 'नाशिक बाजा'च्या गजरात मनसेने जाहीर केले आहे!

लोकसभा निवडणुकीत मनसेने मुंबई-ठाणे पट्ट्यात लाख लाख मते घेत युतीला मोठा फटका दिला, तेव्हा 'मनसेची मजल एवढीच!' अशी हेटाळणी केली गेली. पण आता मनसेने मुंबईत शिवसेनेपेक्षा दोन जा read more »

मराठी माणूस शिवसेनेपासून दुरावला आहे हे महाराष्ट्र विधानसभेच्या निवडणूक निकालाने स्पष्ट केले आहे. मराठी माणूस आता महाराष्ट्र नवनिर्माण सेनेकडे आणि राज ठाकरे यांच्याकडे अधिक आशेने बघतो आहे ही बाबही या निकालाने अधोरेखित केली आहे. read more »

अख्ख्या महाराष्ट्राचा आजचा, गुरुवारचा पत्ता '२८८ रेसकोर्स' असा असेल. राज्यातील २८८ विधानसभा मतदारसंघांतील निवडणुकांचे निकाल सकाळी नऊ वाजल्यापासून जाहीर होऊ लागतील आणि सुवर्णमहोत्सवी वर्षात पदार्पण करणाऱ्या या राज्याच्या गादीवर कोण बसणार, हे हळूहळू स्पष्ट होऊ लागेल. काँग्रेस आघाडी, शिवसेना-भाजप युती, रिडालोस, मनसे आणि घाऊक प्रमाणातील अपक्ष अशा अनेकरंगी लढतींत कोण बाजी मारून जाते. read more »

आपापसात तंटा करण्यात आणि धन्याशी फितुरी करण्यात मराठ्यांचा हात कुणीही धरू शकत नाही... मराठ्यांमध्ये दुहीची बिजे रूजत नाहीत, तर फोफावतात... या औरंगजेबाच्या वाक्यांची आठवण करून देतानाच, मनसेचे अध्यक्ष राज ठाकरे म्हणजे मराठी मतांवर टपलेला भडभुंजा असल्याचा ठाकरी प्रहार शिवसेनाप्रमुख बाळासाहेब ठाकरे यांनी आज केला. उद्धवला काविळ झाल्याचा आरोप करणा-यांचीच पॅन्ट पिवळी झाली आहे... असा टोला बाळासाहेबांनी य read more »

Dear Kattekari,rnLittle bit confused which party or candidate we have to vote. Every day we watch politicians humiliating each other on tv channels. Personally even if i take 10% of it for real, i wouldn't go near any voting booth. But this won't help for sure. Give me some reasons to be more happy on 13th this month. Can you share your opinion so that we can make our mind to vote for that pa read more »

The easiest thing to do with Raj Thackeray is to hate the guy. And there are a large number of Bombay Scottish educated, Colaba-residing Bombayiites who do that. And much of that anger and hatred is justified. But the more difficult thing is to try and make sense of him. Why does he tick? Why is he so popular and who is voting for him? read more »
