The Maharashtra new son Sena was in action again.
00:08
The party is called Maharashtra Navnirman Sena but their electoral record shows no signs of
00:12
any kind of Navnirman. When it comes to drama and chaos however, the M&S sure knows how to stay in
00:17
the headlines. Like this incident from Mumbai where they slapped a shopkeeper or this one at SBI's
00:22
Devpur branch in Dhule where a bank employee was slapped for not speaking Marathi or the time they
00:27
slapped a DMAT employee. The list goes on. But put it next to M&S's electoral performance,
00:32
it's the party that appears to get a smack. The M&S was founded by Raj Thakere in March 2006
00:37
after he left Shiv Sena due to differences with his cousin Uddhav. In the 2009 Maharashtra Assembly
00:42
elections, the M&S won 13 seats in the 288 member house. But things went downhill fast. By 2014,
00:49
the count had crashed to just one seat and stayed there in 2019. In 2024, the party couldn't even
00:55
open its account. The story gets worse when it comes to Lok Sabha elections as the M&S has never
01:00
won a single seat in its entire history. Thakere's critics say he can or should put the enthusiasm of
01:05
his Sena to better use. If the Karyokartas are made to look beyond the vacuous language debate,
01:09
the M&S can help more pressing issues come to light, perhaps.
