Older times Bhand use to have more integrity than some.
After winning majority with the alliance you fought you are still not able to form government, and yet some tabalchi call it masterstroke!
What benefit "hindu nationalist" ideology will have by finishing of Shiv Sena? Even if you miraculously capture 90% of SS vote that's still 10% gain for Congress and NCP with them becoming principle opposition!
On anti incumbency wave doesn't matter how weak is Congress or NCP if they are the only option and not SS, voters will elect them, saw that live in MP(and other places too) where congress won when their network is non existent at many places.
BJP supporters are going as far as supporting NCP CM with BJP outside support, even after knowing how very corrupt, rotten to core they are, some saying let ED go easy on Pawar to make SS learn the lesson! Remind you these are ultra nationalists who are ok with corruption. Hypocrites.
What if tomorrow NCP forms government with SS CM and Home and other important ministries with NCP? D Company, ultra corruption where will all that go? Thieves will be incharge of investigation and even after winning 105 BJP will sit in opposition.
There is tendency of small parties to bite more than they can chew and often choke themselves to death, SS is no different but that doesn't mean you should give such an important state (biggest in GDP, poor performance of which drag center economy too) to incompetent fools.
There is time and place to cut SS to size, it was before election, not the best time now, wait for it, sober up, take control. Misery of SS may give you pleasure for few days but it's not good for Maharashtra, BJP and ultimately India.
