agree with you completely. We marathis understand the politics of it. BUT THE POINT REMAINS UNANSWERED FROM THE CENTRAL GOVT. If these states need to be moved up the ladder then the same has to be told in stern way to the politicians - Mulayam, Amar and Lalu talk in Mumbai as if they have have come to conquer something, forgetting that its them who are responsible for this migration. It takes person like Mr. Modi wjo openly said in his mumbai address that - "my gujarati brothers should note that gujrat today offers better opportunities - come back" - this confidence has come b'coz he has done a lot on the front of development. lastly we marathis are never against anybody, any language (unlike in South) but we will definitely teach lessons to somebody(especially politicians) who talks of lathi and goondagardi.
