And of course, here's Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray giving us a headline.

Equating the Congress party to the Mughals, Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray today heaped scorn on Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, calling him "inept" and one who lacked self-respect.


In a strong-worded editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamana', Thackeray ridiculed Chavan, who has been saying that the Sena will become "inconsequential" after the February 16 Mumbai civic polls.

"His parents named him after a braveheart but would not have thought that he will turn out so inept," Thackeray said. 

"You (Chavan) would not have blabbered if you had even an ounce of self-respect," the Sena chief said, adding dethroning Sena from the Mumbai civic body is not as easy as Chavan is making out to be. Shiv Sena came into being not for politics or power games, but to oppose the injustice done to Marathi-speakers, Thackeray said.

"Congress is like the Mughals... And the way Aurangzeb was buried in Maharashtra, we will bury Congress in Mumbai," he said in the editorial.
