Shiv Sena is walking on a tight rope after Airlines refused to fly its member of parliament Ravindra Gaikwad. In the past, the party members were damaging toll nakas, injuring doctors for the death of their relatives and ransacking the hospitals in the process. This time the MPs went on hitting spree sandals and showed that the might is the right. By assaulting a senior staff of Air India, the Sena MP had gone far ahead. By misusing his authority he fell into the tag of serial offender and now face criminal charges and two FIRs have been filed against him. There is no sort of defence of the Sena MP as he admitted all the charges in front of the camera and CCTV footage clearly revealed his arrogant attitude towards the staff and that trapped him for one final time. Now it is up to Shiv Sena chief to take a call on the erring member and a serial offender. By just issuing warning to Gaikwad will not serve the purpose and stringent action must be taken against him.
