Addressing the media after meeting Raut's family on Monday, Thackeray said, "Even Congress ruled for 60 to 65 years, but look at them now. Nothing is permanent. I was not carried away by the CM post which I held for the last 2.5 years. I am in touch with regional party leaders like Mamata Banerjee and KSR. The BJP is planning to wipe out the regional forces."
