Sena will be a rallying forum for Hindutva forces: Mutalik
The Hindu
HUBLI: Pramod Mutalik, the president of the State unit of the Shiv Sena, which was launched in the State recently, is confident that the party will emerge a rallying point for the Hindutva forces in Karnataka.
Speaking to The Hindu Mr. Mutalik said his party will fill the void created by the straying away of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from the path of Hindutva. Since it is difficult to launch a new party, he considered it is better to make a beginning with an established political party such as the Shiv Sena.
Mr. Mutalik said he has been granted the authority to organise the party in Karnataka by the Sena supremo Bal Thackeray.
During Mr. Thackeray's visit to the State sometime next month, the members of the State unit as well the district set up will be announced, Mr. Mutalik added.
Mr. Mutalik is planning to go around the State in a month's time to organise the party and prepare for the impending visit of Mr. Thackeray.
He said he expects most of the office-bearers of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bajrang Dal, of which he was a part of until recently, to join him in the new party.
