Its the right time for Maharashtra to kick the delhi-based national parties in the rear and go for an all marathi regional party. Judging from the response the rest of the country has towards Pawar, its highly unlikely a maharashtrian will ever be accepted as a PM, despite his/her qualifications. So why waste time promoting national unity and such other crap. Its better to circle your wagons within the state and defend it against parochial bhaiyya domination.
