Mumbai: Aditya
Thackeray-led Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena (BVS), the students wing of
Shiv Sena, Thursday won eight out of 10 seats at the Mumbai
University Senate elections.
The BVS won all five seats in the reserved category and three out
of five seats in the general category.
"This is Aditya's first election and a major victory of his
leadership. It is for the first time that any single political
party has bagged eight seats in the senate - an important decision
making body of the university," BVS president Abhijit Panse said.
The student body of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena - Maharashtra
Navnirman Vidyarthi Sena (MNVS)- won the other two seats.
Earlier this year, Aditya, Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray's
grandson, forced the Mumbai University to drop Rohinton Mistry's
Booker-nominated novel "Such A Long Journey" from its syllabus as
he said the book used "foul language against many things that we,
in Mumbai, hold close to our hearts".
