Mumbai: Current Maharashtra PWD minister and NCP leader, Chhagan Bhujbal’s close eye on the developments in the saffron organization tells him that the departure of Raj Thackeray is a “double jolt” to the party and its chief Bal Thackeray.
 
Bhujbal, who had stormed out from the Sena about a decade ago, said Raj’s exit is “a mental shock” to Bal Thackeray. Raj’s mutiny, Bhujbal says is likely to bring more trouble to the party. He, however, believes that Sena is not over yet. “It will be wrong to say that the party is finished. Lot of hard work has gone in the last 40 years to built the organization,” said Bhujbal, who played a key role in scripting Sena’s initial success in the state.
 
Bhujbal also said that it would be difficult for Raj to draw too many Sainiks into his faction.
