Uptill now the mantra of UP/Bihar pols has been - create our own fiefdom in UP/Bihar and depend on Maharashtra/other states to provide "some" work for UP/Bihar residents. The only competitiveness these people possess is their willingness to live in the utter filth of slums to work at subhuman wages ( It is true they are being exploited, but the reason they allow the exploitation is the dire conditions in their home state ).
Well there is only so far this mantra will go - Maharashtra has had enough and the response in the next elections will be as unsurprising to the Marathi people as was the result in Gujarat. The media/rest of Indi however will never see the result of the elections coming - they will be shocked as usual.
