If labor is imported in Mahrashtra then Maharshtra goods (Textile, petrochemicals, drugs, automobiles etc) and services (bollywod films, stock exchange, banking (SBI, RBI, LIC, Port services ect) are exported to rest of India including UP and Bihar. All these have created jobs in Maharashtra. More money is transferred from rest of India to Maharashtra than the remittances by labor. What happens, if rest of India bans bollywood films, goods manufactured or imported through ports in Maharashtra and demands all major offices like railways, oil companies, banks are shifted in other states equally. Just imagine the number of jobs and prosperity Maharshtra will loose. Also, if the principle being suggested is that no body should work and go out side his state then let Maharshtra first take initiative and pass a law that no Maharshtra resident can leave state (even out side india) and then Mr Thakre should implement this rule on Maharashtrian leaving Maharashtra by use of similar force. Let Maharshtra show first that it believes in the principle and implement it for its own resident as an example before beating and forcing poor outnumbered migrant labors. Abhay
