Rather than saying that he will perform puja outside Raj's residence, lalu should tell Raj that he will develop BIhar so much and he will teach good manners to Biharis so much and he will improve the law & order in Bihar so much that in the next 10 years, Maharashtrians will come to Bihar for jobs and he will not term them as "outsiders". This will be the perfect revenge against Raj rather than performing futile pujas.

if anyone who need to learn good manners is Raj thakrey and not Biharis. I am surprised the way he is being given free hand by govt. Biharis have already shown their talent. Despite being from such a backward state they are able to move ahead in each and every field so much so that the local population starts feeling incure. They are surviving on sheer talent and hardwork and don demand things on the basis of their birth place.

Sheer talent? Hmm... Hardwork?... true(hardwork to the point of exploitation) don't demand things? ...true (they are scared of the contractors).
Truth is they accept subhuman illegal salaries to work long hours because they are desperate. With these salaries (including a pittance they send back home) they can barely survive in slums, cannot afford toilets etc. Their biggest selling point is not talent but willingness to work for illegally low salaries.

Oh we are not worried about the talent... we are worried about hygiene. Slums, Slums and more Slums - relentless pouring in of people from Bihar/UP - people with desperation writ on their faces making them susceptible to exploitation.
Oh yes they are exploited - Rajsaheb has spoken out against these exploiters as well, saying he will target them as well if they do not follow minimum wage laws.

As Clint Eastwood said in a movie as Inspector Callahan - "Man must know his limitations".
Lalu probably knows his and Bihar's limitations. But good luck to your idea. If you and Lalu can make it good in 10 years - we won't come to Bihar to build a slum, but we will applaud you and commend you and feel happy for you.

Again, its just a perception u have that only Biharis live in Mumbai slums, bet there are a lot of Marathis there too. Go ahead, find a way to blame that too on UPiites or Biharis.

You can fantasize about "large numbers of Marathi slum dwellers" all you want - reality won't change.

Unlike u i dont get pleasure in someone else's misery, maybe u can fantasize abt outsiders getting roughed up, i wish no marathi or non-marathi needs to live in slums.
