You are blaming only Raj, why are you not blaming Amar Singh, Mulayam Singh, Lalu Yadav who are cultivating huge vote-banks in Maharashtra? They are trying to grab power through unmitigated migration from UP/Bihar. Look at Abu Azmi saying he will get 20,000 from Azamgarh UP to fight against Marathis. Hindi-bhashis do not learn the local language do not assimilate with the local culture, on the other hand try to impose Hindi and their culture on locals instead.
The worst part, migrants from UP/Bihar are extremely politically active as they are well aware that the political route is the key to the regularisation of their illegal activities viz. encroaching slums on public lands, illegal hawking on streets, plying 9-10 taxis/autos with a single permit forget 10 times, bribing to get rationcards/ voter ids etc.
You have not spoken about the labor contractor system which provide labor to industries in Maharashtra. They are only sourcing bihari/up laborers. Why? because they work for lower wages, If lower wages is the only criteria for industries to be set up in Maharashtra, they can as well go to Bihar/UP.
Here's one more example of the quest for political power by Hindi-bhashis in Maharashtra. They are trying to make Hindi as the official language in BMC (a local govt body). This is an extremely aggrogant move, which is unprecedented, unheard of in any non-Hindi speaking state of this country.
