Dont discard the punching bag

The sudden love and affection towards the Marathi Manoos knows no bounds. If the elections are around the corner, one does not even know what are they speaking or demanding. If it was the Chatt pooja in the month of February, it is the turn of reservation for employment. Raj Thackrey has demanded 80% reservation in employment for Marathis in private firms of Maharashtra.

Some suggestions to Raj Thackrey if he feels he is running out of issues for this upcoming election:

• Why Marathis have to work for others (read bow head to others)? All those non-Maharashtrians who are running a firm in Maharashtra has to sell out them to MNS at the rate MNS decides.
• The non-Maharashtrian river Tapti will be blocked and not be allowed to flow inside the state.
• The rivers Godavari and Krishna will not be allowed to flow into other states even if Maharashtra is drowned by its floods.
• Non-Marathis cannot buy any property in Maharashtra.
• Products produced in Maharashtra will not be sold to non-Marathis
• Non-Marathi trains will not be allowed to run through Maharashtra

Imagine Mr. Raj, all these things happen, what will be the status of Maharashtra? Are these things possible? Why have you demanded reservation only in employment? Why not in entrepreneurship? Are Marathis not good entrepreneurs? Can’t they run a firm? Do you want Marathis to be workers all the time? If all the non-Marathi entrepreneurs vacate the land and move out of the state, what will be the status of your state? How would you balance the immediate debacle? Did you ever think of this?

It is my money, my investment. I know how to produce and how to sell? All I have to do is to abide by the rules of India. However, to employ whom in my firm is my sole consent. If I have to make money, I will give importance to meritocracy because I need not cheat people in the name of religion, region or caste.

Imagine what all mentioned here happens, what will happen then? Whom will you blame for any debacle that happens? If you tax, you will be taxing Marathis, for whom you are shedding tears now? Can you run a government without taking tax from Marathis? Mr. Raj, you need a punching bag that needs to be punched often (even if it happens to be a dummy act) that would keep you alive in the politics arena. If you drive them out, your political career will be doomed. So, don’t go overboard or do a over-kill of this issue.

Enough is enough! The world is shrinking to size of a ball and you filthy politicians are trying to create a division among people in the name of religion, region and caste. Shame on you! Stop such cheap tactics. Just brainstorm with your colleagues on how to bring back Maharashtra to the top rank in industrialization. Votes will follow you!
