'Raj is fighting for his political survival'
20th, Jun 2008




India is one nation and Indians are one, irrespective of whether they hail from north or south. Every Indian has the right to settle anywhere, travel anywhere and own property anywhere in the country.

Raj Thackeray and his uncle, Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb, follow a narrow political ideology. The recent attack on North Indians was the result of the fight between Raj and Uddhav.

Both of them want to establish supremacy and occupy the position once held by Balasaheb. Raj is fighting for his political survival, after parting ways with the Shiv Sena.

Frankly speaking North Indians are bearing the brunt of the fight between the two cousins; basically a family dispute. They are following a divisive policy to gain political mileage. Such divisive politics would result in the disintegration of the country.

Even a common man in Maharashtra does not approve of such a thing. The Constitution prohibits such type of policies and even the honorable Supreme Court has come down heavily against its followers. Such policies cannot be followed by anyone, be it Raj or me.

Anyone entering politics these days often resorts to such narrow minded and selfish tactics to show their strength and attain political goals. Such narrow minded politics is no doubt, a serious threat to the nation's unity. Such people do not realize they are causing harm to themselves than achieving any goal.

Everyone is contributing for the development of Mumbai. Political leaders no matter who, should refrain from following divisive policies.   back to blogs

Act as purostam Ram
by binod Kumar on 23 Oct 2008 11:16 am

Hey Raj Thakrey if you really love your people than please act like prusotam ram and not as Ravan. You should concentrate to educate your people to get a job in any where in INDIA by competing the exma. In my view, You are just making foolish to your people for your own interest and throwing them into the fire by injecting them by sweet poison. you are acting like Ravan who had destroyed whole Lanka vasi and Lanka for his own interest and finally got nothing. so hey ravan Please stop making foolish to your people.

by ankur purandare on 29 Jun 2008 11:19 am

lalu dont have any rights to say anything about any maharashtra leader. first of all he shud concentrate on bihar.the condition of bihar is worst than any dustbin.lalu dont hv any political milage thats why he loose the election in bihar.all the north indians coming in maharashtra dont hv any psychological emotions or pride with our state they r just doing the physical rape on our state.the basic reason of all the probelms creating in the maharashtra is the population explosion likewise \\\"HUM DO HUMARE DO ,TISARA HUA TO MUMBAI BHEJ DO\\\",I m sorry its not any \\\"anath ashram\\\".......
 

Mr
by R K on 28 Jun 2008 1:56 am

It feels like the MNS is creating India / Pak divide and ppl of India aren't freely allowed to travel to the other side. Recently TOI carried out an article that Bal T's father too migrated to Mbai for work. So who are they claim their rights on the regions? Sad part is that educated people are also supporting such leaders and causing obstacles in development of nation. They are forgetting Mbai is a part of India and belongs to every Indian equally. But why go so further... the divide between Western Railway and Central Railway local train platforms in Mumbai isn't much different from what the Thackerays are creating. One with a valid western railway ticket can't cross over to the central side of local station to pick up a friend who is arriving with no clue of Mumbai. The TTE fines u and humilates u as if I entered the Pak territory. It's the same railways. It's part of same Indian railways and I am very much on Indian soil and only 50 meters or so away from western railways. And when you are taken to the TTE cabin, you see 3 Marathi TTE humiliating a Bihari ticketless passenger on the grounds of roots of origin, man handling him and accusing him of more than travelling without ticket for baseless allegations just because he was a Bihari. My blood boiled but helpless in the situation. Laluji there is a lot of cleaning to be done in your own department/kingdom and then you can wn war on others. What do u say?
 

Indianization before globlization
by Tilak Rishi on 27 Jun 2008 7:43 pm

Dear Laluji, Indeed, we are all Indians first and then Maharashrians, North Indians, South Indians and so on. If we become so narrow minded as not to allow Indians belonging to one state to settle in another, how do we expect Indians to go abroad and settle in other countries to make their lives more prosperous. In the age of globalization when the world is coming closer, it is absurd to talk of one state in India not allowing Indians from other states to settle there. Leaders who propagate this dangerous theory of divisiveness need to learn Indinization before they can talk of globalization - 'Vasudeive Kutumbakam'. Tilak Rishi (USA)

Where are we going?
by Vijay on 24 Jun 2008 10:43 am

Dear Lalu Ji, I do not think that there is any need to reiterate this issue. Comments made by Raj and Bal Thackarey are as good as a rubbish! I read in the news paper regarding the comment made by Bala Sahab : "EK BIHARI SAU BIMARI".....What is the strength of this statement?? I think Bal and Raj know very well that the person who got first rank in world's toughest exam - IIT JEE- is a Bihari. How can a topper be SAU BIMARI?? I also know that the 2nd topper of the same exam is from Maharastra (i salute him too). They (including all the youngesters of India) are the future of India irrespective of native place. There is nothing like "EK BIHARI SAU BIMARI" or "Ek BIHARI SAB PER BHARI".... But, i would like to say something to you Lalu ji, i am an engineer working in Chennai and moment i say that i am from Bihar, even the stupid Tea Wala or AutoWala use to say that "ohhhohh you are from Lalu's state"...Do you have any idea why a qualified person from Bihar is a subject matter of fun/joke for stupids Tea/Auto wala?? This is simply because under your RAj, Bihar lost everything.... I dont want to go back in past, whatever you have done in Bihar is now a yore and in present you are really doing good job for Railways...But, i beg please stich the wounds made on the prestige and reputation of Bihar during your tenure as the "RAJA OF BIHAR"... Please do not raise this type of issues without any need, coz it could hurt some of the people from Maharastra ( Some of them believe that Raj is doing something good for Maharastra).. Sorry for the typo..

Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav Thanks for starting blog. This makes communication very easy. Instead of pouring today all suggestions I have, I would try to give one a week. Today all the berths in particular class cost the same. My suggestion is to different pricing for lower, middle, upper and side berths. Obviously my suggestion is to make the lower berth the costliest one. Regards. Madhukar R. Marur

Dear Laluji, Thanks for your support to fellow Biharis working in Mumbai. Think if every regional leader comes to Mumbai in support of their "Gaon wallas", what will happen to Mumbai?. Why can't you concentrate your energy in improving the service to train travelers and help Bihar Govt. to improve Bihar and prevent migration of Biharis to other Metro cities, which are bursting in seams and can not take any more migrating population. Please don't create more problems for Mumbaikars like me. Enough is enough. Thanks.
 

What about Kashmir?
by hargoving, delhi on 23 Jun 2008 10:16 am

Lalooji, You are talking about Raj and MNS, but why don't you or any other so-called secular leaders talk about expulsion of Bihari labours and Pundits from Kashmir? I think it perhaps doesn't fit in your secular agenda.
 

INDIA IS ONE
by Ahmed on 22 Jun 2008 9:45 pm

Dear LALU JI , the people wont understand that if millions of indians living abroad in gulf and US were to be thrown out tommorow by those countries were they to have the same stand ... the people dont understand that the indian army is a one country army and if anyone started claiming marathi , bengali then what kind of army would defend the borders of india ... the people dont understand the people who demand marathi in schools have their children launch poems in english... LALU JI PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND IF GANDHI JI WOULD FIGHT FOR HIS NATIVE STATE GUJARAT THEN WE WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE DAWN OF FREEDOM ON 15 AUGUST 1947.. millions of marathis are working in gulf and outside maharashtra .. and if the shiv seniks are worried bihar governor of maharashtra being overthrown it is the right of every indian to be worried about his state people.. MUMBAI wouldnt have been mumbai without the contribution of non MUMBAIKARS .. dilip kumar , amitabh , shahrukh , ambani , tata, aishwarya , akshay , aamir ...

Shed the British Colonial Orgn - Make it Indian

Laloo Ji, You are the change agent that India was waiting for. I have one suggestion.. WHY IR is remaining a DEPARTMENT of GOI ??? Please make make SR, WR, NR, etc., in to 'Navrathna" companies like BHEL. They can plan and provide more improved service - can generate their own income (also, they can borrow from public, WB, etc). This can be the GREATEST service that you can do to this nation.

Laloo - from Nalada to Nalasopara
by Chakit Chanakya on 21 Jun 2008 4:19 am

Laloo Ji Namaste! We recently planned a trip to the North.Now having given up on using Indian Airlines website, I reluctantly visited Indianrail.gov. I was simpled awed by it. It's reservation webtools were amazing!! - compares with or better than Eurail. Kudos to you.Congratulations on turning the Indian Railways around and doing such an excellent job. LalooJi-That helped change my skewed perceptions about you. But then aren't you from what was once the princely state Magadha - the hometown of Chanakya and Ashoka - the center of learning - the epicenter of Buddhism and world civlization during its times. When I read about ancient Bihar it's beautiful streets, palaces, universities I have felt proud as an Indian. Remember this was a place that "anyone" that was "someone" wanted to be at. However I am also dissappointed - where are those Magadhi's / Biharis now? Why is it that a place where the world wanted to be seen at - now not even your own people want to be seen. They run away from Nalanda to Nalasopara(Mumbai). They have the authoritativeness of Emperor Ashoka, but they lack his morality, his compassion. I loved making travel reservations using your website; but visiting your state I was horrified by the rampant corruption in all of the North even Delhi - the arrogance of a mere Daroga - the sheer disregard for the law. Lalooji make Bihar liveable for the Biharis and you won't have to fight Thackerays. I visited the neighboring Nepal many years ago and was surprised by their hostility towards Indians.So I prodded to find out - they asked if I was from Bihar or Delhi; since I spoke chaste Hindi. When I said I was from Mumbai; they finally aplogized and explained how every Bihari who visited Nepal showed his muscle power and his arrogance - treating the Nepalese like a security Guard's/ "watchmen". Lalooji - the reason I write this to you is - you have shown the skills to turn around the largest cesspool of the Public Corporation - Indian Railways. How about attracting some of your Bihari talent back into Bihar and transforming Bihar. A strong Bihar would change the dynamics of that part of Asia - think of Bangladesh, Burma, Bhutan, Nepal and other nations which want to look upto a stable state and the economic implications. Don't forget even the Chinese at one time would be willing to give half their life to travel to Nalanda. Lage Raho LalooJi!!!!
 

Sao chuhe khakar billi chali Haj Ko
by Smilingtree on 21 Jun 2008 1:13 am

Dear Sir, Firstly I want to point out some correction in your statement that "Every Indian has the right to settle anywhere, travel anywhere and own property anywhere in the country" This is not true because in J & K...... Now pls don't say that J & K is not part of India. Second, who stopped the current Govt ( you are part of it) from booking Mr. Raj Thakre with charge of acting against National integration? A man is clear cut talking about National disintegration in open forum and the Govt has not shown any courage, save drama of arresting him for few hours, to act against Mr. Raj. This also proves that Congress & Left alongwith you have no interest in protecting the Law and order in this country. Thirdly, You have also resorted to similar strategy,now adopted by Mr. Raj, few years back when you played the caste based politics.I think less people were killed in Mumbai during the riots between Marathis and North Indian compared to young students who died ( rather killed by politicians) during Mandal commission protests in the past. Lalu ji, As you said, common man in India does not approve any thing which is against the nation but unfortunately the same common man forgets this while electing the Law makers. However, I must give full marks to you for improving Indian Railways ( still far away from International standards) and also to congratulate you for carving out your place in Indian Politics. We Indians do start liking people emotionally and not necessarily due to Performance, sincerity and honesty. Please focus on Railways. Have you seen the last month delay report of all Trains running in India? Do you know that the people sitting in your call centers ( 139) are giving false info to the customers? I think Railways has really gone into shambles ever since your started devoting too much time to media.I think your interest in Indian Railways has reduced these days ( coming events cast their shadown before - May be you have started thinking that General elections are ahead and Railway may be ruled by someone else soon, so there is natural lack of interest on your part). But one should do justice with his or her job as long as he/she is paid for the same. Best regards Smiling Tree.

Vinod
by Vinod Srivastav on 20 Jun 2008 1:23 pm

Laloo Ji, I live in Hong Kong but am awed by how you and your team have turned around to the Indian Railways IR. I wanted to suggest that considering IR's strengths and resources why dosent IR work seriously on introducing high speed trains and metro services ASAP so that we can beat the fuel price hikes,make travel faster and cheaper, vehicular congestion in the cities, pollution and damage being done to the Ozone layer by the aviation industry? Hong Kong is a very good example for excellent public transport. Leaving it to the states to implement metros will take centuries.So why dosent IR step in do it accross all the metros and cosmos? Jai Hind. Vinod Srivastav
 

Don't make it worse for the north indians.
by Rahul Ranjan on 20 Jun 2008 12:51 pm

Laluji, When you say you want to perform Chhath puja in Maharashtra aren't you further aggravating the situation for the North Indians? You are a minister, you have the security and muscle power. No one can stop you from performing Chhath in Maharashtra. However the hardliners will hit back at hapless laborers, taxi drivers and other poor people. There is no point in turning it into a contest and trying to be a warrior for the people of UP and Bihar. The issue is sensitive and needs to be resolved by a dialogue. I am alarmed at the silence of Congress and BJP over this issue.

Better Do something really well for your state.
by Ashok on 12 Dec 2008 11:04 am

Where was Raj when Mumbai Attacks were going on.why dont he came forward with his workers and do something really well for the mumbai. It's my advice to Raj thackeray if he is really such a well wisher for maharshtra than go to villages of Maharashtra and educate people there so that they can compete with others instead of making them fool by showing only datas about how many other state peoples were selected in recruitments. One thing he must know that India is one country and all the people in India have same rights. Mumbai kisi ke Baap ki nahi hai. If you find something illegal than lodge a complaint in police station and let them do their work. who are you to decide what is wrong and what is right. Jai Hind.....
