    ‘Cong will be finished, not Sena’

    Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Monday called for a permit system for Mumbai to curb the influx of migrants. "There should be a permit system for Mumbai, like the one in Russia. There, police keep a record of when someone has arrived and left your house," he said at a rally here tonight.

    Making light of Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan's remark that Shiv Sena will become "inconsequential" after the February 16 civic polls, Thackeray said the outfit will retain power in India's financial capital.

    "Do you have a vanishing cream that you will wish the Sena away? Our party won't be finished. Instead, it will be Congress which will be routed in the poll," Thackeray said, addressing a campaign rally of the Sena-BJP-RPI alliance, in suburban Bandra. Almost 80 Senas were formed after our party came into being, but no one has been able to take our place, he said.

    On his friendship with Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar, Thackeray said they were friends since the time Pawar watched the first Sena rally in 1966 at Shivaji Park, from the sidelines.

    However, he targeted senior NCP minister Chhagan Bhujbal over the the multi-crore fake stamp paper scam, in which, Abdul Karim Telgi had admitted to making payments to Bhujbal, former deputy chief minister, in return for favours.

    "Who protected you in the Telgi case?" Thackeray asked. Thackeray also flayed Sonia Gandhi, calling her "an Italian woman, who is now ruling us."

    He said alleged that Vadra figured in the 2G scam. "I won't let dynastic rule take place in Sena," Thackeray said. Son Uddhav was made the party executive president at the behest of newphew Raj Thackeray, who was then in the Sena, while Uddhav's son Aditya was "chosen" by the college youths as their leader, he added.
