"Eknath Shinde Told Me...": Raj Thackeray On Why He Met Amit Shah

Even though the Lok Sabha elections are only ten days away, the NDA has received a boost from Raj Thackeray, who is putting his weight "unconditionally" behind the coalition as they struggle to come to a seat-sharing deal in the vital state of Maharashtra. 

Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde of Maharashtra were pleased by Mr. Thackeray's announcement.

During his address to party members of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena on Tuesday, the Maharashtrian New Year, Mr. Thackeray discussed his meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah last month. He asserted that he was the pioneer in the nation to advocate for Narendra Modi's nomination as prime minister.

Mr. Thackeray brought attention to the fact that India's population is among the youngest on Earth. Without education and jobs for youth, "anarchy would spread in the country," he warned. The MNS leader believes Narendra Modi is the best choice to govern India at this crucial time and that the Lok Sabha election will decide the country's fate.
