Meet The New Thackeray On The Political Block: Amit Raj Thackeray

He may not draw votes, but he will definitely draw a lot of attention in the upcoming civic polls in Mumbai.

While cousins Uddhav and Raj battle it out in the political arena, the fourth generation of the Thackeray family will come face-to-face this month ahead of crucial civic polls in Mumbai and other cities in Maharashtra.

Amit Thackeray, son of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj, launched his Facebook page to interact with party workers. The 25-year-old is going to campaign for the party in at least 4 cities.

The MNS is fighting for relevance in these elections after it got routed in the Lok Sabha and Assembly polls in 2014. Amit’s launch is aimed at attracting youth votes, which is also being wooed by Shiv Sena’s Aditya Thackeray.
