A grossly misguided, highly biased viewpoint has been presented, that while pretending there was never any issue to talk about, avoids the real facts, blaming political rivalry between the Thackeray cousins, Raj and Udhav, for Raj Thackeray's "misadventure".
Problems do not get solved by ignoring them and pretending they do not exist. Fires do not start without a reason, and the real reason was not Udhav. Raj Thackeray has shot into the limelight and the center stage of politics in Maharashtra by boldly choosing to protest on an issue that desperately needed to be addressed. That of curbing/restricting the mass influx of hoardes from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, severely straining Mumbai's public utilities to the limits, depriving the locals of jobs and sources of livelihood, while raking up social tensions, what with the likes of rabble rousing leaders of U.P. and Bihar openly announcing plans to create a vote bank of North Indians in Mumbai to ensure a victory for their political parties.
Many believe Raj Thackeray's supporters protests should not have been violent. They could have protested in a non-violent manner. True. Very true. And they did. They waited patiently for several months for the daily influx of hoardes from the north to taper off, which did not. They waited patiently for the political leaders of U.P. and Bihar to talk less agressively about their political plans, which they did not. A volcano was waiting to erupt and it did, spearheaded by Raj Thackeray.

If North Indians wont invest in Stock exchnage and Hindi Cinema than Maharashtra Govt will bankrupt, and Maharashtra become worse than SOMALIA. Remove these two biggest assets(Stick Exchange and Hindi film Industry) of North India hindi speaking people from Maharashtra and than see the economic condition of barren land Maharashtra. Raj Thakeray will forget to wear white clothes.

Not a single Maharashtrian person/leader condemning Violence by Raj Thakeray, everyone is considering him as Heroes of Folk. We all know why this anguish Maharashtrians have against North Indians, because North Indians are ruling almost in all sectors and this is fact,
1.Raj Thankerays and his goons do not have courage to attack on IAS officer, most of them are from UP and Bihar,
2.Raj Thakeray and his Goons do not have Courage to attack on MNC CEOs they are also from the North.
3.Raj Thakeray and his goons they do not have courage to attack on all Mega stars in hindi Cinema, which are 90 % from UP, Bihar, and Punjab.
4.Raj Thakeray and his goons they do not have courage to attack on Directors artist in Mumbai who are rich and famous.
5.Raj Thakeray and his goons they do not have courage to attack on any of the politicians, most of them are from North Indian States.
6.Raj Thakeray and his goons they do not have courage to attack on any of Mafia or DON ruling on Mumbai, most of them are from UP and Bihar.
7.Raj Thakeray can attack only on poors, like Taxi Drivers, Rickshaw pullers, hawkers, coolie, home less thats there standard and limit.
8.They can attack only on poors to show there power and they divide only poors, because we all know Poors are more in number whether they are Marathi or Non-Marathi and they have power of Vote, all political parties need Vote.
