Now Uddhav does a Raj: Sena to pack off outside workers

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena MNS chief Raj Thackeray8217;s uncompromising stand against 8220;migrants8221; in Mumbai has prompted cousin and Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray to issue a warning that his party will not tolerate workers 8220;brought from outside8221; for modernisation of Mumbai airport.

Seeking to reclaim Sena8217;s position as the original 8220;saviour8221; of the Marathis, Uddhav, addressing a gathering of Bharatiya Kamgar Sena workers at the airport yesterday, said: 8220;There are going to be one lakh jobs for airport works. If you bring outside workers, then they will be packed off in a parcel and sent back in a cargo plane.8221;

8220;Shiv Sena is not against development8230; but development should not affect us adversely and destroy families of the workers,8221; he said.

The Mumbai airport, he said, was named after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj after a long struggle. 8220;Here, we want to see a Marathi nameplate welcoming those coming to Mumbai,8221; he said. He took a swipe at Raj, saying 8220;Marathi people know what is original and what is fake.8221;
