Perhaps realising that the regional card is his best bet in the upcoming state polls, MNS chief Raj Thackeray tried to sell old wine in a new bottle yesterday when he said, “I personally feel that national parties are needed at the Centre and regional parties should look after state politics. My party will not contest the Lok Sabha elections and we will concentrate more on state politics and addressing the issues in Maharashtra.”
