In a sign that Shiv Sena is worried over its former leader Raj Thackeray 8216;hijacking8217; its 8216;Marathi pride8217; plank, Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray has warned that his party will not tolerate workers 8216;brought from outside8217; for modernisation of Mumbai airport.
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; Uddhav said.
8220;Shiv Sena is not against development8230;but development should not affect us adversely and destroy families of the workers,8221; the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena MNS chief8217;s cousin said while addressing a large gathering of Bharatiya Kamgar Sena members at the airport.
Uddhav said that Mumbai airport has been named after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj after much struggle. 8220;Here, we want to see a Marathi nameplate welcoming those coming to Mumbai,8221; he said.
He also took a swipe at Raj, saying 8216;Marathi people know what is original and what is fake8217;. 8220;Marathi people and Shiv Sena have an unbreakable bond, that is why it has upset some people.
