MNS poll aspirants see merit in Hindi
The upcoming civic polls seem to have convinced the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray about about the virtues of multiculturalism.
MNS chief Raj Thackeray may refuse to speak any language other than Marathi, however, party leaders hand-picked by him in Ulhasnagar do not seem to share their party chief's xenophobia. The sizeable Sindhi population has forced MNS poll aspirants to campaign in Hindi.

Dinesh Ahuja, an MNS leader who may contest the civic polls from Ulhasnagar 2, is using signboards in Hindi appealing voters to join the party. He has also put up signboards in Marathi, however, he feels use of Hindi will give him "visibility". "I have installed signboards in Hindi and Marathi so that my voters clearly understand the party's message," said Ahuja. Sachin Kadam, chief of the party's Ulhasnagar unit, said, "Ahuja has not taken the party's approval before using signboards in Hindi. We will remove them.".
