Why Raj Thackeray is destined to rule Maharashtra

This video shows why Raj Thackeray is destined to rule Maharashtra.He does a masterful job in hitting all the right points, raking up all the right issues and lampooning other politicians.Truly a formidable politician.I also find it very amusing Arnab’s demeanor in the interview.He is very quiet and submissive.Perhaps the reason is that Arnab lives and works in Parel which is a MNS stronghold.

This is why a decision to go to the IMF would appear to be political suicide for the current Congressled government. Modi is certainly raising the rhetorical level with his growing public attacks on
a ‘direction-less’ government and his focus on the collapsing rupee. The rhetoric is increasing because the general election season is approaching. Remember that an election has to be held by May next year-Greed & Fear Report-CLSA
