This  news  is  not  about  Mosquitoes  but  how   this poor  soul  is  being  used  for petty  politics.
Raj  thakrey  and  his  M.N.S.  has  published  posters  depicting   north  Indian  leaders  as  Mosquitoes.
Well,Raj  is  a  trained   cartoonist  and  understands  impact  of  mass media.
He  knows, some time small  mosquito  is  far  more  potent  than  political  blabber.
His  latest  salva  shows  Mulayam  singh,the  former  U.P. chief minister  as  Mosquito .
Perhaps,Raj is  imitating  his  grand  uncle  who  recently  composed   a  poem ," teen  bihari  hazaar  bimari   etc.
Bala  saheb  often  publishes caricatures  of  his  political  foes  in  Saamna,Shivsena's  mouth  piece.
You  may  call  it  as   very  pathetic  face  of  Indian  politics but  politics  is  no  longer  about  ideals  but  absolute  power.
It  nolonger talks  about  suicides of farmers, urban slums  and  lack  of  basic amneties in  hinterlands  of Maharastra.
One  agrees  that  Samajwadi  party  is  unacceptable  to  Thackreys , but  does  that  mean  its  chieftain is  nothing  short  of  a  mosquito !
But,what  will  Raj  do-if  UP  based  vernaculars  publish  derogatory   toons  about  him  and  his  army !
Perhaps,he  will  fume  or  will  term  it  as  occupational  hazard!
Then,he  must  pay  heed  to  Nana  Patekar,  a  die  hard marathi  manus  and  new  convert  to  MNS.
One of  his  popular  songs  has  some  sagacious  advice,
"Eik  Machar  aadmi  ko  H.......  a  bana  deta  hai"
Afterall,politics  is  a  game  of  uncertainty!
If Raj  sincerely  wants  to  pose a  message,let  him  take  care  of  hinterlands  and  urban  slums.
Many  kids  die  of  unsanitary  practices.Many  villages  are  yet  to  get  clean  water.
Well,  lets  hope,he  will provide  social  repellant  first!
