BACKGROUND SCORE

With videos becoming the preferred mode of communication during the lockdown, people’s virtual, who has addressed the people of his state via 12 Facebook videos since March 18 against a plain backdrop, seems to have got the memo late, but has finally raised his background game. He shared the frame with a small statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji in a video released on May 18 and a photograph of his parents Bal Thackeray and Meenatai on May 24. With his government under fire for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, the Sena chief is clearly pulling at heartstrings.
