Karoon Dakhavla was Shiv Sena’s tagline in its publicity material for the civic election in Mumbai. Translated as “We did, and showed”, it was meant to underscore achievements during the last five years that Sena, along with ally BJP, ruled India’s richest municipal corporation. Even non-cynics found the claim considerably over-rated given the declining quality of infra-structure and living in the metropolis but the tagline caught the imagination of Shiv Sainiks, rattled as they were by the many scams in the civic body, growing threat from Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and the widely-held belief that a unified Congress-Nationalist Congress Party will spell doom for Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena.
