The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has made it crystal clear that it is going ahead with the nine-tier (40-45 feet) dahi handi pyramid in Thane, against Supreme Court orders that has limited the height of these pyramids to 20 feet. Jumping on the bandwagon is the party’s rival, the Shiv Sena. With the BMC elections around the corner, the Sena has taken the side of dahi handi supporters in its mouth-piece Saamna, and claimed that these govinda pathaks attract foreign tourists, too.
