Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Raj Thackeray is at it again; holding the city and state to ransom for his political gain. With an eye on the forthcoming elections, Thackeray wants to exploit the tricky issue of toll tax. He has openly threatened to agitate and has exhorted his followers to indulge in street violence, but the state government seems to turn a blind eye.

Mumbai does not even have a police commissioner at present, and Thackeray’s protest coincides with the inauguration of the prestigious T2 of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport and also the Sahar Elevated Road on February 12.
