Mumbai: Days after his party suffered a drubbing in the BMC polls, the MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Thursday launched a veiled attack on the BJP saying the "money power" and not development has won recent civic polls.
Raj also announced that henceforth his party would use "all possible ways" that are being adopted by other political parties to win the elections in future.
Sporting a goatee during his address to party workers on the 11th foundation year, Raj said, "This the last defeat of the party. Henceforth, I am going to use all possible ways which are used by other political parties to contest and win the elections.
"I relied more on my work and developmental projects but people have rejected it. The results of (recent) polls show the money power has won and development has lost."
While it improved its tally to 82, just two less than the Shiv Sena in the 227-member Mumbai civic body, the ruling party has also won eight out of ten municipal corporations besides making inroads in rural areas.
Commenting on the controversy surrounding the BJP-backed Independent MLC Prashant Paricharak over his comments on wives of soldiers, the MNS chief said, "I think he should be slapped with a footwear. It is highly insulting to jawans and their families."
