Justifying his demand of more autonomy to the states, MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Monday said that his party would not contest Lok Sabha polls in future.

As spelled out in his party's blue print, for Maharashtra's development, Thackeray said, "National parties should focus on Lok Sabha elections and leave state elections to regional outfits. I (his party) will not contest Lok Sabha elections henceforth," Raj said during an interaction with journalists here.

"When I say autonomous status, I am not talking about independence. States' issues can be dealt with by the state governments while inter-state matters should be left to the Centre," he said.
