In three years, Raj has won six seats. For the Sena, it took 19 years to win its first.
Political workers of both parties however say the Sena-MNS will come together only when they are within striking distance of power.
And up next is the BMC elections crucial for the Sena. The civic body is a cash cow with an approximate Rs 19,000 crore budget.
Insiders say the Sena fears that if the MNS continues its winning streak, they may well lose the BMC to the Cong-NCP. For the MNS, a Sena alliance for the BMC polls, could allow the party its first taste of power.
