In Sena split, a tiger’s tale and some canine digs: How Shinde and Uddhav’s parties are feuding with biting metaphors

Published by Parlour News

When Maharashtra deputy CM Eknath Shinde stood before his Shiv Sena’s workers on the original party’s 60th foundation day and called himself a tiger, he was drawing on a deep strand of imagery in Maharashtra politics. Bal Thackeray, himself a cartoonist, was often portrayed as a roaring tiger — the cherished logo of the Shiv Sena he founded. This was Shinde’s latest claim to Bal Thackeray’s iron-fist legacy. Eknath Shinde has called himself a tiger, while Team Uddhav’s Sanjay Raut has used dogs and disloyalty as metaphors for the rebellion within the party. (Photos: HT File, PTI) And it came in the middle of his not-so-veiled bid to further split the Sena of his mentor’s son Uddhav Thackeray, four years after he took away most of the party’s MLAs, the name and symbol. The roaring tiger was synonymous with the undivided party from its earliest years, as it grew from a social outfit seeking jobs for the Marathi manoos (common person) in the 1960s and ’70s into a regional political force from the 1980s onwards. …

NEW YORK — They’re at the top of their sport. They run, weave and go airborne And they’re going all out win the championship this weekend. Call it the Dog Bowl. Westminster show’s canine athletes get their piece of Super Bowl weekend Sorry — no, they’re not the Chiefs or the Eagles. They’re the agility dogs at the Westminster Kennel Club show, which began Saturday by showcasing various dog sports. Dog folk often call Westminster the Super Bowl of dog shows, and the comparison might be especially fitting this year. The United States’ most prestigious canine competition opened on the same weekend as pro football’s Super Bowl, which features the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The rare coincidence comes after both competitions’ dates shifted in recent years. “I always said I wanted people to call the Super Bowl ‘the Westminster of football,’ ” quipped dog expert David Frei, who has a foot in both worlds: He used to work in publicity for the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49ers.

Tamil Nadu leaders and their canine friends

Karunanidhi’s dogs included Blackie, a Dachshund, his blue-eyed dog who would apparently be given whatever he ate. File | Photo Credit: The Hindu Interviewing politicians can be tricky. Sometimes, they provide answers that help us understand their motivations, opinions on controversial issues, and future plans, but sometimes they can be abrasive, evasive, or maintain a stony silence. Interviewing them again and again helps to break the ice and establish a relationship. Conversations then tend to throw up facets of their personality that the public seldom gets to see. In the case of Tamil Nadu’s politicians, I realised that I had something in common with many of them: a love for dogs. And this would often figure in our conversations. When Desiya Murpokku Dravidar Kazhagam (DMDK) founder and actor Vijayakant, or ‘Captain’ as he is popularly called, died recently, I was reminded of this fact. Vijayakant was an animal lover. There are various breeds of dogs at the DMDK’s party headquarters. I recall seeing an Afghan Hound, a German Shepherd, a Dobermann, a Husky, and a …
