Raj's WhatsApp headache

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray faced a piquant problem soon after it became evident that his party had been decimated in the recent Assembly elections with only one candidate, Sharad Sonawane, winning from Junnar in the Pune district. Since then, Thackeray has been at his wits' end denying ironic WhatsApp messages that have been doing the rounds to the effect that he lambasted Sonawane for his lone victory because that now meant he (Thackeray) had no option but to continue run the party despite the comprehensive rejection by voters.
