BJP may want a small Cabinet for better governance but, leader of Shiv Sena, which has emerged as the biggest ally of BJP, thinks the top deck of the council of ministers has to be big enough to accommodate allies. Encouraged by poll results, Thackeray is already dreaming of a Shiv Sena chief minister in Maharashtra and wants his party to expand outside the state. In an interview his residence in Mumbai, Thackeray also spoke about his approach toward business and industry, and said his party’s Hindu outlook was so similar to BJP’s that the two had a ‘common maximum programme’ and not a common minimum programme that other allies may need.Frankly speaking, I expected our party to win all seats. You can ask people close to me what I was saying till the last moment. I was confident because we fielded strong candidates and everyone worked hard.That is all history. Abhi ache din shuru ho gaye hai (now good days have begun). Of the 15 MPs, Shiv Sena had three ministers during the earlier NDA government.We are 19 (including Swabhimani Shetkari Sangatana) members from Maharashtra. During the NDA meet in Central Hall, one of the top BJP leaders said there were 26 partners in Atalji’s government and there are 29 now, so Cabinet cannot be small when there are more partners. Or why would partners join the alliance. BJP will keep the respect of partners in mind.It doesn’t matter who runs the party but what matters is how one runs it. We are successful because we are regional but original party that was formed by Balasaheb. Shiv Sena is a movement that will be 50 year old in next couple of years. We will do much better in assembly election. As a party chief , I would wish to have Shiv Sena CM in Maharashtra.There will be no change except for exchange of some seats according to mutual understanding.I don’t know why people ask me this question. People have already responded. It is too early to comment (on MNS leaders returning to Sena). Our priority is to celebrate Modiji’s oath ceremony.We have organisations in Gujarat, Rajasthan, UP, MP, Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Jammu & Kashmir, among others. It was our mistake that we didn’t pay attention there. Now, we will strengthen our presence outside of Maharashtra after the state elections.I do not understand big talks on industry and economy. But, I want people to get jobs and enough meals. Today, nobody wants to invest in Maharashtra due to lack of infrastructure and country’s corrupt image.I am proud of them. If they are criminals, even freedom fighters were criminals. Legal actions should be taken against those who are compelling us to agitate and fight. Unfortunately, we are still following laws framed during British era. We book people who seek their rights through agitations. My MPs are not rapists, murders and thieves. They stop traffic and agitate due to lack of water supplies or prevent farmer suicides.
