The Shiv Sena, on Sunday, asserted that it would not give up its Hindutva agenda in the upcoming polls.

"Also, our chief Balasaheb Thackeray, despite his bad health, will actively campaign for the elections," said Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut. "Balasaheb has always been our star campaigner. Like always, he will plan our strategies and guide us."

Raut added that Thackeray wouldn't be attending or conducting any party rallies. "He will issue statements through his editorial in Saamna. He will direct the workers through his writings."

He held his last election campaign rally at Malwan in 2005.
