After making some immature comments (or probably carefully planned ones) in Bihar, the congress Yuvaraj takes a local train ride in Mumbai… a great PR stunt! This has certainly taken the winds out of Sena's sail...
Hope Rahul makes the right noises in Maharashtra or else he will push the Marathi Manoos further in the Sena Camp.
Perhaps, more important, it discredited the Thackeray clan and their dictatorial affectations: when was the last time any of them had taken a train or mingled with commoners? When was the Sena's last threat and shrill opposition so pointedly ignored? When was the last time the Tiger and his cubs were shown up to be toothless?

Another Congresswalla (Actor turned Politician - Govinda) took a similar ride in the Virar Local 6 years ago. Media was equally delighted then! Everyone knows what happened after that...
