The mandal’s exhibit before being seized by Kalyan cops
Days of freedom to make social or political commentary through Ganeshotsav seem to be a thing of the past for mandals, as one of them has faced the wrath for a satirical exhibit on the Shiv Sena rebellion. The organisers have taken the Kalyan police, which have seized their decoration material, to the high court.
Kalyan`s Vijay Tarun Mitra Mandal’s decoration theme this year was inspired by the recent political crisis in the state, wherein over 40 MLAs led by Eknath Shinde split the Shiv Sena, leading to the collapse of the MVA government. Shinde joined hands with the BJP and formed their government in the state thereafter.
