Uddhav Thackeray takes charge as Shiv Sena president

Mumbai, Jan 23 (IANS): Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray, son of the late party supremo Bal Thackeray, formally took charge as the party president Wednesday.

Even as the decision was on expected lines, the timing of the event was symbolic as the party observed the birth anniversary of Bal Thackeray, who passed away Nov 17 last year aged 86.

The decision was officially announced after the party's national executive meet Wednesday where the members anointed Uddhav, 52, as the new party president.

Even after Uddhav taking over as president, the late Sena patriarch will continue to be known as 'pramukh' (supremo), a party official said.

The Shiv Sena was founded four decades ago by Bal Thackeray.

At a party meeting Dec 3 last year, his son Uddhav Thackeray announced he would continue to remain the executive president - a post he occupies since 2004 - and vowed "to take the party forward".

After that, he had gone on a state tour to meet and interact with party workers across Maharashtra.

    If you sow hatred and attitude towards other community, that all you get back. You reap what you sow. The North Indians will never forget what went through them and they will never forgive the sena soul.The results will be shown in next assembly elections. In many many areas or Mumbai the north Indian community were simply voting sena just because of the terror created by the old tiger and its teethless cubs.

    Today Shiv Sena has become a pathetic shadow of its past. With no ideology or faith to hold on to, with no organised set-up apart from the undependable network of frustrated and militant lumpens with no second line leadership or charismatic successor, the Shiv Sena stands on the threshold of disintegration.
    The internecine rivalry between Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, as well as between Joshi and Rane will soon consume the outfit that once terrorised the minority Mumbaikars.

    All the best Shri. Uddav Thackeray.
    You are a people friendly person.
    It is Dynastic rule, nevertheless, not against our constitution. We are not against dynastic rule.
    Even parties criticizing Congress for dynastic politics will also support you!
