Gandhinagar: Raj Thackeray led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)’s obsession against Gujarat seems unending. India Today reports that the cable wing of MNS has threatened to uproot the cable ducts installed by Gujarat Television Private Limited (GTPL) if the cable company did not stop its functioning in Maharashtra. The main point of contention is that while the city cable operators charge between Rs 200 and Rs 400 a month, GTPL offers its services at almost half the rate.

Tushar Aphale, an MNS official who is also General Secretary of Maharashtra Navnirman Cable Sena is quoted in report as saying, “GTPL seems to have an agenda of killing the business of cable operators in Maharashtra. We will strike down their plan. We have resolved to put our strength behind the worried cable operators.”

The MNS is looking to create a network of 40,000 cable operators in Maharashtra. It believes they will help the party in the Legislative Assembly elections next year.
