Now Uddhav does a Raj
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray's uncompromising stand against "migrants" in Mumbai has prompted cousin and Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray to issue a warning that his party will not tolerate workers 'brought from outside' for modernisation of Mumbai airport.
Seeking to reclaim Sena's position as the original 'saviour' of the Marathis, Uddhav, addressing a gathering of Bharatiya Kamgar Sena workers at the airport yesterday, said: "There are going to be one lakh jobs for airport works. If you bring outside workers, then they will be packed off in a parcel and sent back in a cargo plane."
"Shiv Sena is not against development... but development should not affect us adversely and destroy families of the workers," he said.
The Mumbai airport, he said, was named after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj after a long struggle. "Here, we want to see a Marathi nameplate welcoming those coming to Mumbai," he said. He took a swipe at Raj, saying "Marathi people know what is original and what is fake."  |
