The campaign tagline
"Ho, Hey Shakya Aahe" (Yes, it is possible), similar to US President
Barack Obama's famous "Yes we can" slogan that he had used while
campaigning for Presidential polls in 2008, was announced by Raj here.
Raj's campaign poster also reads: "Let us create a Maharashtra that the world will envy".
According to party
insiders, the "blueprint of Maharashtra's development, which was
finalised after eight years since the inception of the parry, will focus
on empowerment of women, industrialisation, agriculture, transportation
and irrigation.
With the MNS coming
out of the shell it has gone into after its crushing defeat in Lok Sabha
polls, the political scenario in the poll-bound state is likely to hot
up.
Shiv Sena, the bete
noire of MNS, had come up with the slogan, "UTha Maharashtra' (Wake up
Maharashtra) in August after its alliance partner BJP's massive victory
on the successful use of "NaMo" slogan. The "UT" in Sena's slogan is
abbreviation of the party president Uddhav Thackeray's name.
The role of MNS will
be keenly watched as the alliance partners Sena-BJP and ruling
Congress-NCP are teetering on a breakpoint over number of seats to
contest.
In its electoral
debut in 2009, MNS polled over 1.5 lakh votes in each of the 12 Lok
Sabha seats it had contested and bagged 13 seats in the Assembly
elections in that year.
However, in
recently-held Lok Sabha elections, all its candidates lost their
deposits in ten seats the party had contested, mainly due to Modi wave,
with a vote share of mere 0.13 percent.
