PM nominee Modi should have quit as Gujarat CM: Raj Thackeray

He said since Modi had dwarfed his rivals, they were repeatedly attacking him. Asked about the prospects of Aam Aadmi Party, which made a stunning debut in Delhi assembly polls, in Maharashtra, the MNS leader said his party was still its "Baap" in the state.

"There is no need of AAP, we the Baap are here. Today, you are all talking about AAP, but I have been saying for the last many years that vote me to power in Maharashtra because things cannot change otherwise. I would fix Maharashtra's problems," he said.

Anjali Damania, Maharashtra convenor of the fledgling AAP, while reacting to Thackeray's comment on her party said, "Who is the Baap, only elections will decide. I think everyone should mind his own business, look at how to grow your party rather than commenting on others."
