		In a signed article in the Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna, party chief Balasaheb Thackeray, called for the removal of controversial officials Brajesh Mishra and N.K. Singh from the PMO and also hit out at the role played by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's foster son-in-law Ranjan Bhattacharya in the affairs of state.

	Shiv Sena On The Threshold Of Disintegration By Kumar Ketkar
		It is difficult to decide whether it was Thackeray's charisma or his terror which had inspired large numbers of lumpen Marathi youth.
		The Sena was a spontaneous movement and the Marathi urban youth felt drawn towards Thackeray because he appeared to provide some meaning to their utterly purposeless and otherwise hopeless existence.
		Consequently the importance of the Sena and Balasaheb grew.

	Indiantelevision.com's Breaking News : CAS - medicine worse than disease: Uddhav Thackeray (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The younger Thackeray played to the gallery (and yes there were claps galore) when he said that the conditional access system (CAS) is a medicine worse than the disease.
		But Thackeray stated that it was unfair that the I&B minister RS Prasad hadn't provided answers to Balasaheb despite assuring him that he would allay all the concerns about CAS not being consumer friendly.
		Talking about Delhi, Thackeray referred to the fact that Delhi's Congress chief minister Sheila Dixit had clearly said that CAS was not consumer friendly and the fact that the I&B ministry decided to postpone CAS in Delhi citing the excuse of elections proves that the ministry knew that CAS would rub consumers the wrong way.

		Mr Thackeray is the natural consequence of the Congress Party's vote-bank politics of pampering the minorities.
		To blame Thackeray alone would be to blame the hangman for killing the murderer.
		Bal Thackeray, like Houdini, will escape the clutches of the law, so long as the nation is terrified of arresting him, a loophole is as good as a miss which, as we know, is as good as a mile.

		Those who have left the party without a thought for the leader who gave them vast political space and let them flourish, have not made good and are facing an uncertain future even as they are contending with rivalries and even hostility in the new political scenario in which they find themselves..
		And I had not the faintest idea that Thackeray had tremendous leadership qualities in him and that he was cut out for better things than being a cartoonist in a newspaper.
		Thackeray had built up a party from nothing and how he had allowed several men to grow under the Shiv Sena umbrella.

		Raj Thackeray is the third prominent leader to have walked out in 11 years and the fourth in the last 11 years, but his exit is likely to be the most damaging for the party, that was raised on the slogan of "Maharashtra for Maharashtrians".

		Sena's dynamic young leader Raj, often seen as the real successor of the ageing Balasaheb Thackeray, quit the party's executive committee, plunging the Maratha rightwing party, already reeling under serial desertion and electoral humiliation, into further turmoil.
		Raj's resignation is the latest in a series, which includes that of senior party members like Rane and Sanjay Nirupam, who was ousted earlier this year and later joined the Congress Party, after they went public with their anger against Uddhav.
		Bal Thackeray, who had on Nov. 29 lambasted Raj for "backstabbing" the party, softened his stance later in the day saying the young politician would heed his (Bal Thakeray's) call to defuse the crisis.

		Even after the settlement, the political aspects of the issue have been part of the debate with, politicians like Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray stating that some of his own ilk "were instrumental in widening the rift between Mukesh and Anil Ambani".
		Thackeray's proclivity to overstate and caricature is no secret, and one may have to make allowances for his strong personal likes and dislikes.
		The on-the-record innuendos, as well as the off-the-record elaborations, of those like Thackeray have it that it was Amar Singh and Roy who inculcated the "adventurous" political idea in Anil Ambani's mind and developed it to such a level that it erupted into a crisis.

	Uddhav aborts Balasaheb-Raj meeting !
		Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray is believed to have aborted a meeting scheduled between the party's octagenerian supremo Balasaheb Thackeray and his estranged nephew Raj Thackeray, who had recently floated his new political outfit called Maharasthra Navnirman Sena.
		That the senior Thackeray and his nephew have soft corner for each other has been obvious all these months as the Sena chief has never criticised Raj in his party organ 'Saamna', while Raj has always reverentially addressed his uncle as 'Vithoba'(a deity).
		The senior Thackeray had temporarily shifted to Raj's house in July, last year when Matoshree was flooded by torrential rains in the city on July 26-27.

	Central Chronicle--Opinion
		Bal Thackeray committed his first blunder in 2001, by appointing Uddhav-who was till then a mere wildlife photographer-as the Executive Director of the Shiv Sena, ignoring the seniority of his nephew, who was groomed by him as his political heir.
		He is flamboyant, copying Bal Thackeray in toto; so far leadership qualities are concerned, comparatively, Uddhav lacks these qualities of head and heart at times, to a great extent.
		Raj Thackeray has to establish rapport with nationalist forces and not to hobnob with politicians, having criminal background.

		A clutch of politicians -- -- including Bal Thackeray -- -- gathered to inaugurate yet another park in what was then Bombay on March 23, 1991.
		What raised Thackeray's hackles that day was Bhujbal's desire to be anointed the leader of the Opposition in the state assembly.
		While Bhujbal was an instant convert to the Thackeray slogan -- -- the right to employment for the sons of the soil -- -- the Sena chief was quick to see the potential in the young man. What emerged was an unbeatable combo: Thackeray's intellect riding Bhujbal's muscle.

		Mr Thackeray was getting on in years; the Sena's political gains were getting increasingly unimpressive; the cadre was losing its morale; and the party had split internally into two groups - one led by Uddhav and the other by nephew Raj Thackeray.
		He still sings praises of Mr Thackeray but predicts that the party would be doomed if Uddhav continues to lead it the way he is. Uddhav, on his part, has lashed out at Mr Rane for failing to lead the party to victory when he was the Chief Minister.
		Mr Thackeray, who has been able to successfully keep the party together for more than three decades, is now finding things difficult - what with his subedars demanding their pound of flesh.

	Is Thackeray a Terrorist?: Ideas & Identities of India Pakistan
		If the latter got people to clean toilets, Thackeray’s USP is that he allows people to drop little turd pellets all over the place.
		He gives the impression of leading from the front when he is safely ensconced in his den, a caricature sitting in a maharaja chair with the picture of a tiger behind him; I have not been able to understand this silly animal metaphor, considering that the Sena’s party symbol is the bow-and-arrow.
		Thackeray is a bigot and dangerous to Indian minorities, but I still don't see why he should be extradited to Pakistan.

		After Mr Raj Thackeray parted ways with the supremo, taking a sizeable chunk of sainiks with him, the Balasaheb loyalists have been looking for a trigger to demonstrate their “tigerish” quality in order to revitalise the organisation.
		That political capitalizing was calculated was clear from the provocative statement of Mr Uddhav Thackeray, son and heir of Mr Bal Thackeray and executive president of the party.
		This provided the Thackerays with enough ammunition to fire at the state government and prove their point that it was related to the Bhiwandi incident.

		Senior leaders of the Shiv Sena remained closeted at “Matoshree”, the residence of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray for the second day to study the fallout of the revolt by the charismatic Raj Thackeray.
		Raj Thackeray, who was invited to hold discussions with his uncle and cousin Uddhav, decided to stay put at his residence at Shivaji Park in Central Mumbai.
		Although Congress insiders believe the spat between Raj and Uddhav Thackeray may not lead to an immediate exodus from its ranks, they also maintain that when such a development does take place, it will not be possible for the Congress to say no as the NCP will be waiting in the wings to grab them.
