"Whatever happened so far was a trailer, a teaser. There are more to come," the belligerent MNS chief said during an interactive session for online edition of a leading Marathi newspaper. You come as a paying guest and claim right of ownership over the house. This won't be tolerated," Thackeray said.
"In Maharashtra, nine crore Marathi people are taken for granted and the remaining two crore, who are outsiders, are appeased," he added.
MNS would contest Lok Sabha polls, Raj said, adding that he would not go in for poll-alliances at the cost of interests of Marathi people.
Ruling out his contesting elections, Raj said the Nano project would not have gone to Gujarat if he were the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
Raj riled ruling politicians for failure to make an offer similar or better than the one made by Gujarat CM Narendra Modi to Tata.
"Our politicians only think of their own constituencies, not the entire state. The Nano project is coming up in Sanand which is not Modi's constituency. We lack this kind of vision in our state," he said.
"There is a new culinary dish being churned out in the political arena and it is called 'spineless politician' like the boneless chicken," Raj said.
"Give me power and I'll fix everyone and everything using the language they best understand," he added.
"After my agitation (against non-Marathis), Marathi people are walking about with pride in their own state," he claimed.
Besides Mumbai, there is also unrest among Marathi population in rural Maharashtra as north Indians are making inroads into their area, the MNS chief said.
"Former chief minister of Maharashtra, late Vasantdada Patil once said 'there is Mumbai in Maharashtra but there is no Maharashtra in Mumbai'. Outsiders are deciding our future. Who has given them this right? They should go back to their native lands and make Mumbai out of their cities and towns," Raj said.
Asked if he would go for a poll alliance, Raj said, "I am not deliberately looking for any political alliance. But, I am open to any political party approaching us to form an alliance. I will, however, not abandon my agenda (the Marathi issue) at any cost."
On the emerging trend in Mumbai cooperative societies of selectively allowing people like vegetarians and specific communities, Raj said, "this is absolutely wrong and is being done purposely with support from parties like BJP."
Commenting on the likeness between him and his uncle and Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, Raj said, "I was born and brought up in that family. I do not consciously imitate him; it's in my blood. My likeness to him is a matter of natural influence, something I cannot avoid."

Greeting Brothers and sisters.I am a member of MNS (Maharstara Navnirman Sena)I shall like to tell all Indians that,Please don’t be get diverted your thoughts only by looking the “breaking news” of IBN 7 and AAJ TAK.First thing is that editors of these channels don’t know Marathi language.They divert the news in such a way that “TRP” rate should be more for there breaking news.(few )(We have another exm of Sourav Gangulies interview at his home. Bhaiyya editor. Edited it in differently … after Ganguly has to say. I never said it.)Raj Thakare case is also the same.Regarding expatriate issue,We will never sit ideal for unbalanced system.(If local people will not get the admission for the colleges due to expatriate students , balance of system will loose.We coming together have to work and think on how Bihar can be converted into a developed state.So that Biharis need not to
yes i completely agree with raj thackeray, the north indians need to be sent back not only from mumbai but from the whole of south india they are arrogant, insensitive to local customs and traditions and are unruly and indisciplined lot
seriously, what a 'kabab mein haddi'
Esp. for who has written blog "Marathi Vanmanoos" below. The Maharashtra (Only Rastra and not Pradesh) is far more peaceful than Northen States. The projects e.g. of Volkswagan,Audi are in Maharashtra itself. Chakan is the Detroit of India!!! great na..Where one can find more police records?? Answer is crystal clear. One should read history of MH and find out what biasing been done by NI to MH.
Raj thackeray should be arrested for his comments. Can he ask all the Maharashtrians all over the world
Yes,there is no question of asking.No one is feeding on his bread.Raj Thackeray,bloody if you have the gutts,come to north India and see what happens.U bloody loser only 1 man is enough to tear u apart.Stop your stupid trailer otherwise we will show u the film.
All these non maharashtrians unnesessarily wasting their time.. This is an internal issue of Maharashtra and your opinion doesnt matter.. I am a maharashtrian having strong opinion against Modi for what he has done against Muslims but my opinion doesnt count bcoz its locals from gujarat whose view matter most. Same here all those who are posting views dont even have any knowledge about ground realities in the state, your opinion is not at all called for. Now this battle has gone out of any northindian Lalu and Amar made a big mistake by generalising Maharashtrians and made comments on media and the Hindi media again followed with Biased coverage.. Now Raj's support has gone beyond what you can imagine.. Look and do something for your own state..there are thousands of problems..bring atleast one to limelight and do something abt it ..rather than wasting time on internal topics on Maha.. Maha knows hows to build their state and have done so till date itsGDP is double of immediate state
Raj Thackeray first, as he took lead over his beleaguered family members Balasaheb and Udhav over the “Maharastra belongs to Marathis” issue. Let me ask a question to Thackerays from where they belong to? Someone who is so vehemently involved in safeguarding Marathi peoples right by virtue of vandalizing properties belong to North Indians and making provocative statements against them is not aware of his own family history. Thackerays belongs to Madhya Pradesh basically and these are no different, as their forefathers settled in Maharastha long time back. Mr. Udhav please take note of this. The one who have no idea about his own identity and background should not be talking about his father’s stake “ Mumbai belong to my Father”. Now as his family has already spent 3 generation in Maharashtra and they consider themselves to be Marathis, then same rationale is applicable to other as well which I think they don’t consider. I have a question to ask please tell me the exact time one need to spend in maharastra too be deemed Marathi?
Raj Thackrey has conveniently forgotten that Mumbai is Mumbai because of all the Maharashtrians and Non-Maharashtrians who reside there. North Indians have also given a lot to that city; it is a two way road! And God forbid, if he somehow fulfils his dream of driving out all non-maharashtrians out from the state, it simply wont be the same ever again. I fail to understand, why doesn't the court put gag order on him?As for Nano project, Indians should be thankful that it did not go to Maharashtra. The next thing Raj Thackrey would have done is to have all Marathi employees for this project!
This marathi Vanmanoos needs to understand that investment is made in peaceful places. Tata left Singur to go to Gujrat citing safety of his workers. Why would he go to Maharashtra when North Indians are being targeted there.

Looking at comments, one feels that there is a general bias against Marathi people. The bias is understandable. It reflects failure on their part to do anything for their states. Social development in these Northern states has only gone towards touching feet of rajas and seeking reservations.
Get some basic education, you nerd. What your uncle taught you is called "goondagiri" which is miles apart from literacy.
Well I suggest every migrant to Mumbai to start voting, you can as any ordinary citizen living in a place for more than 6 months. This will make fanatics like Raj to shut up forever.
Raj Thackeray has taken the parochailism to the extreme. It is nothing but an extension of the current flavour of hatred and narrow minded ness. These days we only hear about tensions, clashes and unrest throughout India. Be it in the name of Religion, Lanuage, Caste etc...When will we people realize that these goons belong to every political party as well as fundemental organzations depend on these hatred and public unrest for their very existense. What has Raj done for the great state of Maharashtra? What has he done for Mumbai? How did he amass so much wealth over the period?If we pursue this path I can only see trouble for India. Law of the land should by uphold and all the guilty should be punished irrespective of religious,party,linguistic or other orientation. Until that is done GOONs like RAJ will have a field day.
What happened to the court order from Jamshedpur court? I think the judiciary alone can do justice to strange ideas of this young man. Protecting Marathi culture cannot be the at price of national sovereignty. Human cost in terms of future riots is too much to pay. As it is, every culture undergoes changes with time given a globalized environment. No region is exempted from it. Marathis are no less special .. nor more..
can some1 tell who is dis person raj ? he his still knwn as balasaheb nephew does he has any standing of his own, isnt he d same raj whos sena were caught vit weapons during navratri in chembur during in d mid 90's or his he d same raj who once told he likes western brand cause india doesnt make any good ones (especially his designer clothes / cigrattes and vehicles), has he started smoking bidis and wearing cotton from vidharb and also travelling in maruti (after suzuki went off), these guys only knw how to play with humans life and emotions for their personal gains. and with so many media people giving importance he his sittin on everyones head, why not tell d election commission to de-recognized MNS for spreading hatred, delhi can go behind vhp/bajrang dal but i guess there is hand of sharad pawar in encouraging him to divide shiv sena, else mr pawar would have comment on his acrocities of who ever this raj is. how come all of a sudden he his know around ---- do thank mr pawar too.
As a Maharastrian, I completely agree with Raj thackrey, people from north have done enough injustice to the marathi people, now its time to pay back. The other states are just beggers,its because of Maharashtra the other states are surviving as there is not infrastructure there. Give me an example of one state which is contributing more to the economy of india.
Raj U have no right to spoil the Name of Maharashtra Be True Indian First
Instade of teliing Raj Saheb, why dont you became a Indian Traer first...Ideots lik you are every were.
I THINK WHAT RAJ IS MAINLY CONCERNED IS ABOUT PRESERVING THE CULTURE OF MARATHIS . CULTURALLY NORTH INDIANS ARE HAVE DIFFERENT QUALITIES . THEY ARE BOISTEROUS , SLIMY , LOW INTEGRITY , NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN , ABOVE ALL THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING VERY DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS --- SO , WE ARE GETTING TO SEE " CLASH OF CULTURES " . IN MAHARASHTRA . Even Bangalore is facing the same CULTURAL SUFFOCATION due to large influx north indians seeking IT jobs . BUT IT IS INEVITABLE one has to live with it .
there is only one way to survival with dignity, is formation of hindu rashtra , like japan is for japanese, china is for chinese, iran is for iranian, america is for american, britain is for british ......hence hindustan is for hindu.
Raj seems to be too blank to notice the fact there is a Maharashtra in New Delhi, U.P, Bihar, West Bengal, Orissa, NE States, JharKhand, Uttaranchal, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, AP, TN, Karnataka, Kerala, Gujarat, in fact, any state, any place, any job, any profession- all over India. Raj's polarised vision can accommodate the Maharashtra of Shivaji, Tilak, Gokhale, Kher, etc. only to his own Mumbai stretched to the border of Maharashtra, with him as PM!
He is a rabid dog who needs to be contolled in time before he become a fatal menace for the society.
Raj Thakery ka "Desh Todho Andolan" thinks only for Maharashtra...Where is India...right now there is no stuff to Stop SIMI...kind of stuff in his "chat-pati" dadagiri...If he had taken steps to kickoff..... all terrorist, Bangladeshis...then he would have seurely...got Bharat Ratna...But its all our bad luck that this "Veer Mahharastra Sipahi"...sorry MP origin sipahi..is fighting for marathi people for VOTES i.e NOTES (Rs)...........NOT US...INDIANS
How is Raj Thackery different from Hurriyat leaders - Kashmir for kashmiris, Maharashtra for Marathis ?? Whot next - Can I declare my 3 BHK an independent country please ?
This state was founded in 1960 and it belongs to marathis.Cutloos, bhaiyyas, madrasis, bengalis just get out !
How is Omar Abdullah different? Is it because he can get up in the Lok Sabha what Hurriet and Raj Thackeray are saying on the outside?
Abe idiot, he is not fighting for independence. Go... have some coffee... wake up and then come back here. Comparing everything with Kashmir / islamic terrorism seems to be in fashion these days. Raj Thackaeray could be a criminal - not terrorist or a separatist.
Maharashtra is paying price for supporting people like this monXey face idiot. Tata or any other big businesses stay away from places where people like him are supported....there's more to come if this guy is allowed to shoot from his mouth for long.
Raj does'nt have proper education. He wont get even peon's job in any where in India, thats why he is stuck to one place and cant see beyond that. His brought up ls like this. Media is making him local hero among the fools. Media should not write or show on TV anything about him then his actions will die natural death.
