Nope. To make my point clearer, I meant that Shiv Sena's "target audience"
has eroded due to migration. Hence their "popularity" has declined. No wonder
you will not hear the "Marathi Manus" line from them nowadays. "Hindutva" is
their new agenda. Someone old enough can remember their attacks on the
south indian establishment in the 80's if I am right.
