That's right; Hindi is the 'official language of the Central govt of India'. English is also an official language. Many people in UP and Bihar are ignorant of this fact and learning it the hard way.
There was no need for Mrs Bachchan to rake this issue now. This has only helped push moderate, mainstream Maharashtrians to support Raj Thakre. This will have very serious consequences if other political parties (ShivSena, NCP and Congress to name a few) perceive this shift and get into the fray. For a politician, this was an extremely irresponsible statement.
The Bachchans have become damaged goods in Maharashtra.
