The politician has to raise an emotive issue to draw the attention of the people and to get votes. Congress party raised issues like reservation in IIT's, IIM's for OBC's,Reservation for minorities,Special allocation for Muslims based only on religion etc. Recently, samajwadi party tried to woo the North Indian voters of Mumbai based on their lingistic identity. Mayawathi's BSP tries to project itself as the sole champion of Dalits.What then poor Raj Thackery can do? He is trying to project himself as the champion of Marathis. Coming days more issues will be raised like reservation in private sector, Hyderabad for local people, Bangalore for Kannadigas etc. The people are to blame them selves because they get divided on these lines for their personal benifit.
