"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."

The great soul of Dr.Ambedkar the father of the Indian constitution may be crying. People who sacrificed their lives for freedom of the country never forgive this GOONDA I repeat GOONDA Thackeray for dividing the country on linguistic basis. this gentle man should be given a fitting punishment that should be a lesson for such kind of URCHINS crop up in future also. What the Justice department and the state HOME ministry is looking for?
Why does he not dress like a typical marathi man, wear dhoti you idiot and why do you need TATA Nano project in maharashtra don't you scum know that TATAs are from gujurat?
I think people like RAJ are real terrorist and are bigger threat to our country then those who explode bombs, arrest RAJ under POTA OR MOCOCA immediately.
How can he blame the present CM for only being concerned for his own constituency when he is doing the same thing by thinking only about Maharashtra and not about the entire country.
Trailer will end in flop show, dont get your hopes too high!!
I agree with Raj's view that Maharashtra should preserve its culture and traditions, it should be applied to each and every state and locality of Indian nation instead of diluting and abandoning ones own traditions which makes India such a beautiful country under the name of cosmopolitization and modernization. He is right in suggesting to outsiders to go back and create Mumbais in their own state. It will create many Mumbais through out India instead of concentrating and pollutizing only one Mumbai on Western coast. Why people who become rich in Mumbai become selfish and forget to go back with their wealth back to home state and do something for their own state? Concentrated urbanization at one plce is not beneficial to the country. Let us follow president Abdul Kalams dream of including each and every village and town of India to prosperity.
I agree with Raj Saheb, He is the great leader and current situation needs him . I think , Marathi language should be language of business. if people want to do business in Maharashatra they should use Marathi. All non Maharahtrians are not allowed to contest local elections.
if you open maharashtratimes then you will see daily this paper is seen supporting this guy 'raj thackeray'
we all indian who love our country need 2 stand up nd fight people like rajthakrey, bukhari n amarsingh they r modern jaichand nd mer jafars
IS SOME THING WRONG IN THE HEAD OF RAJ,HE WANT TO DIVIDE IN NAME OF RACE AND WANT TO GRAB POWER,WHICH WILL BACKFIRE IN FUTURE,AS NO ONE CAN ADVANCE IN TO DAYS WORL ON DIVIDE AND RULE,WORLD IS BECOMING GLOBAL,AND NO ONE WILL TOLATRATE ANY DIVISION IN NAME OF RACE AND STATE,SO RAJ TAKE A LESSON AND DO NOT GO FOR SHORT TERM PUBLUICITY AND BE BOLD AND BE AN INDIAN
WHAT IS WRONG IF HE SPEAK FOR MARATHA IF YOU ARE FROM RAJISTAN THEN YOU HAVE RIGHT TO SPEAK ABOUT RAJ. I DONT THINK SOMTHING IS WORNG IN RAJ WORDS HE IS JUST FAVORING HIS OWN PEOPLE EVERY ONE HAS RIGHT TO DO THAT.
Dear Mr Raj, come out of dream land and start working like Mr. Rajiv Gandhi is doing and recently did in Rajasthan. You may learn it from your bihari friends who have changed their fate by hard work in Mumbai
This guy is a prize idiot. We are a free country - someone should tell him that sometime. We are not China where people need permits to move and work where they want.Perhaps he should emigrate to china.
Instead of doing all this; he should change the outlook of majority of Marathi people to work hard. Most of us are willing to employee local; but with such attitude we are forced to look outside the state for workers who are willing to learn
This idiotic guy wants the TATA nano project. The tatas are parsis basically from Gujarat. And this shameless creature does not mind having their project. If he has spine, then he should be refusing the projects from non Marathi companys....
Raj is mentally unsound. Requires to be admitted at Jaslok Hospital
Isn't there any law and order in Maharashtra? One guy is taking law into his hands as if its his family property and the administration is simply watching. We are Indians, you illetrate!! And we are proud of that. Everything else, be it Marathi, Bihari, Tamilian etc comes second. Otherwise there is no difference between us and the religious fundamentalists who also shout like you (like religion comes first and nation second). Shame on you!! If the government doesn't have the guts then the people should respond. Other wise we will witness innocent civilians like us getting killled on the street for somebody elses political ambitions
LAGR RAHO RAJBHAI
These political jockers, like 3 Thakarays, Mamata, Uma Bharati and Amar singh are the "badlucks" of India. Neither they have civil manar nor political understanding nor good acting skills. They are the destroyers of harmony, civility and tranquility. They misled people in the name of honour, justice and pride whwreas they have only one interest and that is political expendency. As soos as possible, the people should show them back door to go hell.
I think people like Raj Thackerey should be shot down instead of common man. Where is our constitution? where is our law and order? These are for poor and common people not for powerful and rich people. Can no human activist has the gut to file PIL against this bastard and bastards like him in Inidia.
Something wrong has happened to this man better he consults a good Doctor or the people of Maharastra will teach him a good lesson
