I won't contest elections: Raj Thackeray

Amravati: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray has said that his party would contest all the 48 Lok Sabha seats in the state, but he would not be one of the candidates.
"Due to the kind of family environment I have come from, I believe in giving leadership and not in contesting polls. So, it is very much clear that I will not fight any election. But, MNS will definitely contest coming Lok Sabha elections," Raj, who is touring Vidarbha, said at a press conference in Amravati on Monday.

On whether he would forge an alliance with any party, the youth leader asked if there was any political outfit ready to join hands with him.
"MNS will contest polls on its own."

"I am against people coming to Maharashtra from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, their aggression on our culture and socio-political life. They are causing loss to our culture and increasing the problem of unemployment," the MNS chief said.
