Maharashtra CM Vilasrao Deshmukh puts up a brave face as he tries to defend some of his recent Sena-like decisions. Excerpts from an interview:
You seem to have a Sena-BJP complex...
But isn't it Thackeray-speak?
Are 'outsiders' unwelcome under the Congress too?
Why this interest in Bangladeshis?
Any figures for illegal Bangladeshis?
You receive praise from the Sena but face opposition from your own party. Are you losing track somewhere?
You mean slum demolitions? Sonia's intervention made you backtrack.
You didn't seem to be in favour of the dance bar ban. Why champion it now?
How many Bangladeshi girls work in these bars?
