We are worried about how to get out of this sadness, said MNS leader Mahajan. Shelar should have known that no one can make Raj agree to anything by putting a gun to his head. MNS has never fielded a candidate against Shelar. Raj Thackeray is the king of the world of friendship. Mahajan also commented that losing a friend like him is a sign of intellectual bankruptcy.
