Whichever the state, Ktaka, TN or Maharashtra it is wrongly assumed that parties with a regional agenda harm national integration. I think regional parties are a must as a voice of the people of the region.
However they can also pose a threat to the unity of the country as shown by MNS where violence is resorted to. The MNS/Shiv Sena/KRV are rogue parties that filled in the space available for regional voice.
I feel that regional parties do play a role in promoting and representing the people but if it is done wrongly as in these cases it dents the image of the state and its people for no fault of theirs. It is a double edged sword this.
