Shiv Sena head honcho Balasaheb Thackeray will speak his mind tonight on The RKB Show at 7:30 pm on Sahara Samay Mumbai.

"If Munde and Rane are guilty of any wrongdoing in the Telgi scam, hang them!" - Shiv Sena head honcho Balasaheb Thackeray

"If Munde and Rane are guilty of any wrongdoing in the Telgi scam, let them be hanged. But investigate the matter thoroughly… take it right back when Vilasrao Deshmukh was revenue minister and now even Ashok Chavan’s name is coming up," the Shiv Sena supremo lashes out in an exclusive interview on Sahara Samay Mumbai.

Speaking candidly on just about everything Thackeray says, "There is no tension at all between Uddhav and Raj. It is just that Uddhav lives here and Raj has to come here to attend meetings. In fact both Raj and Uddhav have publicly announced that they would rather leave politics than allow politics to create tension in their relationship."

On the subject of cricket Thackeray says, "My stand remains completely unchanged. The Pakistanis will not play in Mumbai. What is this that is happening right now? I am not against the boys. They are doing well. Good... but this is a joke. Has terrorism gone? Have they stopped attacking us? Maybe we should now play cricket on the Line of Control and maybe the terrorists will stand on the sidelines and applaud your fours and sixes! What is this achieving... this cricket?”

And that's not the end of it... furthermore attacking the NCP leader Sharad Pawar, Thackeray said, "I do not keep changing my mind like Sharad Pawar. First they said they would never accept Sonia Gandhi because she is a foreigner. Now they say this will not be part of their manifesto but it has not been dropped by them. So what are they saying? That they will raise the issue after the elections... and Sharad Pawar... the BJP wanted to have him in our alliance because they thought this would be the strongest alliance in the state. I said yes... because I wanted to expose him. After all he has called us communal all his life and today he wants to come with us. I wanted Sharad Pawar to join us to expose him. My only condition was get rid of Bhujbal and you can come. I said this to the BJP. Obviously he did not agree," exhorts Thackersay.

"My contention was how can I go to the people after abusing and criticizing all that Pawar stands for... how will I face the people? I said that to the BJP."

Looks like an action packed show... make sure to tune in to Sahara Samay Mumbai to catch the Shiv Sena supremo in an animated conversation with Sahara's Rajiv Bajaj.
