Thakrey is getting older day by day and I think by now he has relaized that his party doesn't hold any ground outside Mumbai or Maharastra... he want to pass on his heritage to his son (which everyone knows not cabale like him)....and Balasaheb knows that this can only be achieved by being local and support some local candidate...by this he is ensuring a marathi image and making sure that marathi manus keep supporting his party and his son can earn bread and butter after him... and I guess that's wat politics is... he had achived what he could being with BJP ..has made big money being in central govt when NDA was ruling... everyone knows NDA won't come in power for next 40 years now (the mess they created when they ruled)...so y to bother abt such alliance... its a question of your own survival...
