average income in bihar/UP=1/4th the avg income of a person in maharashtra. This causes poor quality mass immigration into Mumbai/Maharashtra. Since these immigrants cannot get to higher position in these states, they get into theft and other illegal activities causing further distancing between the communities, the lalus and Mulayams are squarely to blame for forcing there populace to this dismal state. The difference betwen politicians of the maharashtra or the productive southern states and BIMARU states is not corruption but efficiency. Both are corrupt but one is corrupt and inefficient.
