He knows that Raj has stuck a chord with the marathi manus. By arresting him, deshmukh would effectively lose the coming elections. He knows that as much as any one else. Here are my suggestions to resolving this problem a. Make Marathi a compulsory subject in college. b. Put a 1000% tax on movies, plays, dramas, cable tv, books, periodicals, magazines, websites within maharashtra. c. Teach all maharashtrians martial arts and dissimilar combat tactics, just in case we need to protect ourselves during civil war. d. All beaurocrats and other employees within the state of Maharashtra must pass a marathi competency examination. e. Allow 50% of the top jobs within the state to be filled via promotions as opposed to stupid IAS exams. f. Do not issue any more ration cards to hindi speaking people. g. Clean up all the slums in the Mumbai Pune region.
