Raj Thackeray: The tiger cub

Raj Thackeray's star rose quickly. He was popular. He had the same Thackeray fire. And he was respected as a leader. Things began to go wrong towards the latter half of the 90s, when his name cropped up in controversies like the Ramesh Kini murder and the Michael Jackson concert to raise funds for the failed Shiv Udyog Sena.

Wisely, Raj took the backseat. He maintained a low profile, gradually winning back the trust of party workers. His mass base began to grow bigger. In time, he became the Sena's star campaigner. All controversies were buried in the past.
