Electioneering for the February 16 municipal corporation polls is picking up with the third generations of Thackerays hitting the campaign trail for their respective parties.

Aditya, the 21-year-old son of Sena Executive President Uddhav Thackeray, participated in a road show in Pune on Sunday evening along with his younger brother Tejas and other party leaders.

The bespectacled youngster, who is pursuing a law degree at KC College in South Mumbai and heads the Yuva Sena, said he had urged people of Pune to vote out the "corrupt" Congress-NCP from the Pune civic body.

"In Mumbai, we have shown performance and hence people should give us chance to prove ourselves here too," he said.

Amit, MNS chief Raj Thackeray's son was the cynosure of all eyes as he travelled in a separate vehicle at his father's road show in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai this morning.

18-year-old Amit, a second year Architecture student at Raheja college, said he had participated in the campaign for experience.

"I am enjoying this experience," he said and replied in negative when asked if he plans to enter full time politics.

"Nothing is decided as yet," he added.

Uddhav who is facing stiff challenge from his estranged cousin Raj and the Congress-NCP alliance, sounded the election bugle yesterday by addressing two meetings of the Sena-BJP-RPI alliance in Mumbai.

While Raj, who was denied permission by the High Court to address an election meeting at Shivaji Park, literally took to the streets by driving down to the suburbs to meet party candidates and participating in road shows.

Campaign of the Congress, which is making a determined bid to wrest the Mumbai civic body from the Sena, has not picked up. Party candidates and local MPs are organising padyatras and street corner meetings.

Ten municipal corporations including Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Thane, Nashik will go to polls.
