In Conversation with NDTV's Padmaja Joshi & Vasudha Venugopal, Journalist & Author Sudhir Suryawanshi said that in the last BMC Elections Uddhav Thackeray had got some section of Hindutva vote because of his 'Mee Mumbaikar' campaign, and even some South Indians liked him & voted for him, but this time with the whole Annamalai controversy the South Indian voters have deserted the Thackerays. The Hindutva vote bank too has completely disowned the Thackerays and gone to the BJP, he adds.
