It is pretty obvious that the Shiv Sena has decided to fight the Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation elections along with the alliance partner Bharatiya Janata Party but what baffles the party workers is that none of the posters or banners in the election promotion have made any mention of the leader of the party, Bal Thackeray.

36 of the total 95 seats in the MBMC elections on the 12th of August are being contested by the SS while 54 seats would be contested by the alliance party BJP and the rest 5 would be contested by the Republican Party of India (Athawale).

The election posters hav been stuck up the walls in Marathi, Gujrathi, Hindi and English but none of them even mention Bal Thackeray while they all have the pictures of Uddhav Thackeray and the MLA of Thane Pratap Sarnaik.

The posters say that if the Sena can conquer the BMC and TMC reflecting their victory under the leadership of Uddhav, why not the MBMC.

Though the cmapaigning has already begun the workers of the party have started to question the absence of their leader, Bal Thackeray. Uddhav cannot participate in any rally for the party election due to the poor health and now that there is no mention of the leader the workers are demotivated.

Bal Thackeray is undergoing treatment at the Lilavati Hospital in Mahim and the doctors have assured that his condition has been steadily improving.
