After locking horns with MNS in a Wi-Fi war, the Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray outdid cousin Raj in the blue-print race yesterday, releasing his ‘vision’ for Maharashtra, two days before August 9, the date on which MNS was expected to release its own plans for the state.

While messages circulating on social media had indicated that the MNS would be releasing its blue print for the state on August 9, Sena chief Uddhav beat him to the task, when he called for an urgent press conference yesterday, in which he announced his ‘vision’.
