Raj Thackeray and family at a wedding ceremony
While appearing in ‘Aap Ki Adalat' show of Rajat Sharma just before 2014 general elections, Raj Thackeray had defended his unilateral support for Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister.
Defending his stand, Raj Thackeray told Rajat Sharma, “In 2011, I had gone for my rounds to Gujarat. I stayed there for over 10 days. Then while returning to Mumbai I had a press conference. At that point of time Narendra Modi was nowhere in the political scenario as BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate. Then there were talks of Sushmaji and Advaniji. I had then said that India needs a Prime Minister like Narendra Modi. When no one in this country had recommended it, Raj Thackeray had said that. No one had objected then.”
