'Uddhav's stand on allying with Raj Thackeray is from mind & heart'

"Uddhavji's stand regarding an alliance with Raj Thackeray for the sake of the Marathi people is both 'manase' and 'dil se' (from the mind and the heart)," Raut told media persons here, indulging in word play. He referred to the fact that the abbreviated form of Raj Thackeray-led MNS is pronounced "Manase" in Marathi, which means "from the mind".

The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena is keen on allying with the Raj Thackeray-led MNS since it aims to perform well in the soon-to-be-announced local civic body and municipal elections in Maharashtra. Uddhav's Sena is especially eager to retain its control over the extremely cash-rich Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), whose budget exceeds that of some small states in India.
