He realises he won't come to power by only raising the cause of "Marathi". He is shrewd. He is promising the people a Maharashtra that everybody will envy. His manifesto talks about that. Of course, we have to wait till the day he comes to power.Vinayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001179092240729416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11430958.post-24170960082864258802009-05-12T01:44:00.000-06:002009-05-12T01:44:00.000-06:00I agree with author that Raj T has put some very v...I agree with author that Raj T has put some very valid points with adequate evidence & it is also true that everyone's angry with Raj because of the way in which he has put his points.<br /><br />But its a wicked truth that in today's politics one who goes by the law ends up being a loser while others adopting illegal & unfair means win the battle.

The print media had mentioned about this. Infact, DNA (Mumbai edition) had a photo of a person who appeared onstage with Amar Singh and M.S. Yadav as a "victim" of the MNS attack. But next to it, was the photo of this same "victim" when he was kicking an MNS activist. So, as Kaushik and I mentioned in our previous comments, the media is not Vinayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001179092240729416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11430958.post-13654130169786909832009-04-28T10:34:00.000-06:002009-04-28T10:34:00.000-06:00I guess people have more problem with what followe...I guess people have more problem with what followed those speeches. Those riots and attacking on people of other states namely UP and Bihar caused more problems and added fuel to the fire.

If this energy can be channelized fruitfully, then these acts of mass migration will reduce. But, for that, he needs to come to power and then stay true to his words. Will he do that? Only time can tell.<br /><br />In his speeches, he tells Marathi people and youth to take up jobs and not shy away from them thinking about their "low-status".

There's an election candidate in eastern UP who said that his area needs to develop so that their men need not go to Mumbai and get beaten up by Raj's men. So, development is being seen as a necessity.<br /><br />But what is true, is that very very few people will actually realise this. How are they different from Raj Thackeray, when the Vinayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001179092240729416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11430958.post-20378789206588370382009-04-27T12:26:00.000-06:002009-04-27T12:26:00.000-06:00These politicians have a thick skin and we voters ...These politicians have a thick skin and we voters (the people who go out and vote) do not see the hypocrisy in our leaders....<br /><br />It is true that misrule in UP/Bihar has bought people into Bombay....but that does not mean Raj can come in and say that Bombay belongs to Marathi manoos only...and terrorize the city with his goons (or party workers, word choice)...<br />That is much like the kaushikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14854952659886099080noreply@blogger.com
