Raj Thackeray, who has finalised his party MANASE's constitution, ideology and policies, is going the extra mile to win over Mumbaikars.

In a move so far unheard of in politics, the youth leader is seeking the opinions and reactions of the citizens. Party sources say Raj is personally going through some of the opinions, an exercise, he thinks, is necessary before the Shivaji Park rally on March 19.

Raj believes that he has coined a slogan that will instantly strike an emotional chord with Maharashtrians -- Me Maharashtracha, Maharashtra Mazha. (I belong to Maharashtra, Maharashtra's mine). Pamphlets carrying the slogans are being distributed by Raj supporters across the state.

They have a map of Maharashtra, an image of Shivaji and, a picture of Raj professing his party ethos. "To create a new Maharashtra, I need your valuable opinion," the pamphlet says.In the last fortnight, his supporters fanned out asking people what they think of party, leaving a blank space in pamphlet asking people to write their assessment.
