Thackeray vs Thackeray



It was an unprecedented event in Mumbai on 13 February 2012, two Thackeray Maha rallies at the same time! It was the last night before the campaign period ends and both parties had pulled out all stops to dazzle Marathi Manoos in Mumbai and beyond. Even news channels had a harrowing time deciding which speech to telecast. While Star Majha gave a panoramic view from Worli, other channels were more inclined to show what Thackeray Sr had to say. For those who missed the action, you can watch these two videos courtesy Star Majha.


In his latest speech, Raj Thackeray fired the first salvo from Jamboree Maidan in Worli... While Balasaheb gave it back with equal gusto at BKC MMRDA Ground in presence of Gopinath Munde of BJP and Ramdas Athavale of RPI... not to forget Uddhav & Aditya Thackeray (Both looking extremely nervous). While nephew's speech emphasised on the issues related to BMC elections and welfare of the city, Uncle stuck to his below-the-belt double entendre style. Raj clearly proved that he has Version 2.0 of his uncle's "Thakari Shaili"... without the "Shivral Bhasha"!


Both spoke of 'walking the extra mile'... so is this laying of foundation for a post election tie-up?

Raj takes a leaf from Modi’s ‘Book of Politics’


On Sunday, Raj Thackeray delivered a lecture on “Future of Maharashtra” during a Vyakhyanmala in Nigdi near Pune. 3M accidentally came across live transmission of the event on Star Majha… Surprise Surprise… Thackeray Jr was singing a different tune… from “UP-Bihari Hatao” he has moved to “Development”. The speech was replete with examples of development from around the world. He realizes that rhetoric (and violence) can open political doors but development can ensure sustained support from voters… Lessons learnt from M/s Modi, Dixit & Pattnaik!

The fact that he is warming up to BJP was clear from his statements like “Modi for PM” and “Gadkari for CM”… as political equations are set to change, he seems to be preparing ground!

Bada Bhai… Chhota Bhai…


Narendra Modi made a very impressive bhashan at a rally in Thane last Sunday… He tomtomed about how Gujarat has whizzed past other states on the economic ladder!

Some interesting lines from his speech – “We were a part of Maharashtra (Read: We Gujaratis)… You are the elder brother… We are the younger brother… when we parted way, you had everything … We left the house without anything (Read: Mumbai)… and look where we are today… you have lagged behind because you decided to join hands with Congress!”

3M is amused that half a century after creation of Maharashtra, the Gujarati psyche is still troubled with the ‘Loss of Bombay’… Modisaheb, if you aspire to be the PM someday “We vs You” speeches are not going to help!

Pu La's views on Belgaum Dispute

After reading my post on Belgaum Dispute, Gaurav Sabnis shared Pu La Deshpande’s speech during a Kannada Sahitya Sabha in Pune. His thoughts are quite humbling… “Maharashtra and Karnataka are political entities while Marathi and Kannadiga are cultural entities… you have meeting lines in the later case and borders in the former… one welcomes each other… the other say don’t enter!”

3M salutes Pu La for making such a profound statement with such ease… and laced with this characteristic humour!
