The HinduFormer Maharashtra CM and ex-Lok Sabha Speaker Manohar Joshi, who counted among Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray’s most trusted aides, passed away early Friday, aged 86. It was the late Shiv Sena founder, the towering Bal Thackeray who made Mr. Joshi the CM, with Mr. Thackeray even going on record to state that he firmly held the “remote control” of Maharashtra’s government in his hands regardless of who was the CM. He used to be at the forefront of every agitation conducted by the Shiv Sena When Bal Thackeray was arrested on the border question, Mr. Joshi was at Balasaheb’s side.” Mr. Joshi remains the only Shiv Sainik, and among a handful of politicians, to have served in every post from corporator to a legislator in both the Maharashtra Council and Assembly, to Chief Minister of the State, and finally to Central Minister and Lok Sabha Speaker. “Those who claim today what was the Shiv Sena’s contribution in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement should look at Mr. Joshi’s record as a kar sevak,” Mr. Raut said.
