'''Akhil Bharatiya Sena''' (''lit.'' All India Army) is a [[political party]] founded in 1997 in Mumbai, Maharashtra by [[Arun Gawli]] (alias 'Daddy'). Gawli had earlier been close to the [[Shiv Sena]] supremo, [[Bal Thackeray]], but in 1996 a bloody feud surged between them when Arun Gawli mercilessly slew several Sena party legislators and party workers. Gawli then formed a separate party..<br />
<br />
In the [[BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)]] elections 2002 the ABS candidate Sunil Ghate defeated the Sena candidate in Gawli's home turf.<br />
Ghate is today the sole ABS corporator in BMC.<br />
<br />
In the [[Lok Sabha]] elections 2004 Gawli got 92,210 votes (26.5%) in the constituency Mumbai South Central.<br />
<br />
In the [[Maharashtra]] state assembly elections later the same year ABS launched 20 candidates. One (Gawli) got elected.<br />
<br />
The [[trade union]] wing of ABS is called [[Akhil Bharatiya Kamgar Sena]].<br />
<br />
In 2007 BMC elections (Mumbai city council) ABS won 2 seat. His daughter Geeta Gawali won and became corporator on ABS ticket.<br />
In 2009 ABS supported Congress party and its candidate [[Milind Deora]] on [[Mumbai South (Lok Sabha constituency)|Mumbai South]].<br />
In 2010 Arun Gawali and all his candidates lost the election for (vidhan sabha) Maharashtra Assembly election.<br />
In 2017 new candidate Santosh (Henry) Alfred DSaoza joined Akhil Bhartiya Sena from Ward No 209. However, he lost the election and he is now Byculla Taluka Adhyaksha.<br />
<br />
Currently, Gawali is lodged in jail.<br />
