"Thackeray's remarks that only the Sena pattern -- and not Modi -- will work in Maharashtra"
But Sena pattern didn't work in Maharashtra in 2000 & 2005 elections !! Congress NCP is in power for 8 years !! Even Shivsenas big leaders Rane and Raj Thaku split the party. What did Bal do at that time !!
Look at Modi, he became CM for the record 3rd time in a row. He single handedly triumphed the party twice in succession !!
Thackeray is jealous of Modi's achivement. He is scared that BJP will grow in Maharashtra if Modi campaigns.
