Balasaheb Is No More

Shiv Sena Supremo and Maharashtra's much-loved leader Balasaheb Thackeray passed away at his residence Matoshree at 3:30 pm today, his doctors announced to the media assembled outside his residence, at around 5:00 pm. He was 86, and for the last few weeks, had been weak and ailing.

It's an end of an era for Maharashtra, and one hopes Raj and Uddhav can come together and strengthen the two Senas, channelizing the huge reserves of strength they possess for the growth and development of the Marathi Manoos and the wonderful state of Maharashtra. That would be a fitting tribute to this great leader.
