MNS is now on the web


As he sounded the election bugle, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray noted that his political vision reaches far beyond mere electoral politics. Thackeray launched his website www.manase.org on Friday, which intends to make the youth aware of Maharashtra and about the agenda of his party and his stand on issues. Thackeray said, " It has been my mission to work for the betterment of Marathi Manoos, Marathi language, the State and the overall Marathi culture. My political vision reaches far beyond mere electoral politics". He said that the website would be in English and Marathi. "This website is dedicated to Maharashtra. It encompasses all aspects of life like culture, business and social spheres and will support Marathi businessmen, professionals and other Marathi ventures," said Thackeray. However, political sources observed that Raj would be using the website as a medium to campaign for the forthcoming elections. "Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thackeray has decided to campaign for his party through its mouthpiece Saamna owing to his fragile condition. But Raj, who had earlier been banned from holding rallies to prevent him from making provocative statements after he launched a tirade against the north-Indians, would be free to express his views and campaign for his party through the website," the sources observed. Raj also made it clear that he had no plans to contest elections, even as his candidates would contest in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.
When asked whether tickets would be given to celebrities, Thackeray said, "We will rope only those who spare their entire time serving the people. If celebrities are ready to agree to our terms, even they would be given tickets." He noted that he gave tickets to those who could put forth state's stand in Parliament.
