Exhorting his party cadre to begin strengthening the organisation at the ground level, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray, who began his tour of the Vidarbha region on Sunday hinted that a fight against the “dominant political parties” of the region was essential if the MNS had to gain a toehold in Vidarbha.
Mr. Thackeray, who is on a five-day tour of the region, reached Nagpur on Sunday where he held closed-door meetings with MNS office bearers ahead of the crucial civic polls.
According to sources, the MNS chief, who has been making efforts to revive his party’s sagging fortunes in Maharashtra, is believed to have questioned his party workers as to why were they lagging in building the MNS in this belt which has long been dominated chiefly by the Congress and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
