"What is his interest in Lavasa?" Thackeray asked, addressing the party workers here.
The Shiv Sena president also targeted Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan saying that after being sluggish in clearing files as alleged by Pawar himself, Chavan was now hastening to take pending decisions as the Assembly elections were around the corner.
Thackeray urged the party workers to take up people's issues and ensure victory of the saffron alliance in the Assembly elections, due later this year. He also said that he would not welcome those who wanted to join Shiv Sena now for "selfish gains".
