Raj, Uddhav outbursts unlike Marathi culture: Lalu Yadav

Lalu Prasad flayed Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray for their 'outbursts against non-Marathi people'.

Railway Minister Lalu Prasad on Monday flayed Shiv Sena Executive President Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray for their “outbursts against non-Marathi people”, saying their stand is “unlike Maharashtrian culture”.

“It’s unlike Maharashtrian culture. Mumbai is an all-inclusive city (people from states other than Maharashtra reside there),” Prasad told reporters when his reaction was sought after a function in Bangalore.

Uddhav Thackeray warned in Mumbai on Sunday that his party would not tolerate workers “brought from outside” for modernisation of Mumbai airport.

Raj Thackeray hit out at North Indians last week invoking the issue of Marathi pride.
