But this also being Maharashtra politics, the real question these watchers say is, “For whose benefit?” Depending on who you speak to, Raj’s moves are either being plotted by the BJP to hurt Sharad Pawar and the Shiv Sena, or by Sharad Pawar to hurt the BJP. “Basically, he doesn’t do much of analysis and his DNA as he said is Hindutvawadi,” the MNS leader said. “Everyone knows Raj Thackeray doesn’t really listen to anyone. You should learn from your mistake not blame your party workers for it,” said the Shiv Sena leader.
