Former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief's wife Rabri Devi on Tuesday said that she was not surprised with MNS and BJP getting closer with the former endorsing Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
"Whether its BJP, Shiv Sena (SS) or Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) all are birds of same feather, whenever they feel like they join hands and part ways at their will amongst each other."
"In Mumbai, the MNS has always harassed people originating from Bihar, by violently attacking them physically. RJD has always raised its voice against MNS for adopting such dehumanising acts against Biharis."
In a significant political move, MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday announced candidates for the Lok Sabha polls and also declared his party's support for BJP's prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi.
