Gloating over its by-poll victory against Narayan Rane, Shiv Sena today said those who dare to come into the backyard of Thackerays' Matoshree "will be buried and won't be forgiven."

The 63-year-old Congress heavyweight Rane yesterday lost to ruling Shiv Sena's Trupti Sawant in Bandra (East), home turf of party founder Bal Thackeray, his second consecutive defeat in six months.

Sena said Rane will lose by even greater margin if he contests the elections for the third time.

"This election teaches that those who try and come into Matoshree's (Thackeray family residence) backyard will get buried and won't be forgiven. Let us see who can beat us," an editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamana' said.

"This seat had fallen vacant following the demise of (Sena leader) Bala Sawant. The by-poll should have been held uncontested. But, by fielding an egoistic man against us, the Congress has bared itself in front of the people," it said.

In the by-election, Trupti Sawant secured 52,711 votes while Rane garnered only 33,703 votes, losing by a margin of 19,008 votes. All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) candidate Rehbar Khan was a distant third with 15,050 votes.
