First of all I am a Marathi guy. I have no issues with any N.Indians (or any Indians) coming to Maharashtra. The average person from UP and Bihar come to states like Maharashtra for as they want to provide for their families. We would do the same in their position. Majority of them are good, hard-working people. I may not agree with Raj's methods, but he has a point on the issue. Politicians like Laloo and Mayawati have outsourced their poverty to other states. They have completely destroyed their states. What's the point in being mad at Raj -- people should first hold their politicians accountable for creating this situation. Why is no one talking about Mayawati and others before her. Aren't they criminals and traitors? As far as I am concerned, any Indian is welcome in Maharashtra. But please try and start putting your state in order -- try not to elect criminals. That would be a start. The alternative is to have the rest of India subsidize UP and Bihar forever. We should start holding Mayawati and her goons responsible. Stop the caste BS and start working for the betterment of UP.
