Model for Unity - Maharashtra Style

During the recently concluded Presidential Elections in India, Shiv Sena declared that they will support Pratibha Patil (the eventual winner), regardless of her political affiliation. The reason? She is from Maharashtra.

Kudos to Shiv Sena for rising about party politics. When will others in the country learn to do the same?

And, when will Shiv Sena lead us to the same model for the country as a whole, rather than just for a region.
