Raj Thackeray says that UP and Biharis are outsiders and they should not come and work in Mumbai. But
a) Maratha Empire ruled till Delhi including Uttar Pradesh and parts of Bihar etc.. b) Rani Laxmibai a marathi ruled Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh. c) Vasundara Raje a Marathi was the Chief Minister of Rajhastan, she belong to scindya family of Madhya Pradesh d) Scindya Family of Madhya Pradesh are marathis.
Does that means that in those days Marathis went and occupied territories and jobs of UP and Bihari people.
Raj Thackeray says that Vidarbha should not be separated from Maharastra because Maharashtra was Shivaji Maharaj's empire. But Shivajiraje's empire was called Maratha Empire and not Maharashtra. Maratha empire consisted of entire Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Delhi, Parts of Rajputana(Rajhasthan), Jharkand, Chattigarh, Parts of Bihar, Vijapur(Bijapur), Tajore(in Tamil Nadu), in that case why these territories are left outside Maharastra even they should have been Part of Maharastra. First of all Raj Thackeray is not Chattrapati Raj Thackeray. Secondly, Raj Thackeray is not Shivaji Maharaja's legal Heir. shivajiraje never attacked unarmed enemies, whereas Raj Thackeray and his men hurt unarmed common man whether it is Bihari Taxi drivers or Marathi Ramesh kini and Marathi Ammbadas Dharrao
