Mumbai: The “insider vs outsider” debate kicked off by Raj Thackeray is sparking off political reactions from Delhi.
Union Railway Minister Lalu Prasad reacted strongly to MNS president’s diktat that Chhath festival should not be allowed in Mumbai anymore and said he would ensure he’s present in Mumbai for the festival this year.
''No Bihari should be afraid of such Thackerays as they only know how to disrupt the country, '' Lalu was quoted as saying in Ranchi where he came to attend the party-sponsored ''Chetna'' rally.
Lalu also warned Raj not to indulge in 'dirty' politics as it might have adverse impact across the country.
The MNS chief said that the Chhath Puja was nothing more than a drama and also demanded that the people of Uttar Pradesh origin should stop organising the Bharatiya Uttar Pradesh Divas.
This prompted an unusually aggressive Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had likened Raj to a Shaitan (devil) for his controversial remarks.
"Raj Thackeray is like a Shaitanwho has the habit of making remarks to be in the news by hurting people's sentiments and creating unnecessary controversy," he said.
