Thane, Jul 09 - Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray will soon bring about drastic changes in the party's leadership throughout the state.

A highly placed office bearer of the party said on condition of anonymity that changes are likely within a couple of weeks.

Changes will be brought about at the district level leadership and gradually to other office bearers as well.

Non-performers will be shown the door and instead those with organising capability will be given a chance, he said. In the entire process, loyal and dedicated party workers will get prominence and importance, he said.

These changes will be initiated well in advance on account of the 2014 general elections in which the party intends to capture maximum of seats.

The party also intends to play the Marathi card during the coming elections. PTI
