Mumbai: Taking a new line to push his son-of-the-soil campaign, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray has decided to hit the streets for a new state law which will deny a non-Maharashtrian possession of any land under irrigation.
In a letter written to mark the Marathi Language Day on February 27 -- and a copy of which is with The Indian Express -- Raj Thackeray stated that following the "successful agitations"for conducting railway examinations in Marathi and making taxi-drivers learn Marathi, he and his party have decided to press for a legislation which will ensure that land under irrigation is not given to a non-Maharashtrian.
His letter to party leaders in Mumbai will be distributed to the public on Saturday.
"Apart from the on-going Marathi language agitation, my party will begin a new agitation to ensure that land under irrigation is given only to Maharashtrians. The Maharashtra government should pass a resolution to this effect," Thackeray stated in the letter.
Taking it a step further, he said existing non-Maharashtrian land holders should be compelled to have Maharashtrian partners. "Those non- Maharashtrians who have bought land in the state in the past will now have to have Maharashtrian partners and stakeholders. The legislation should be applicable to all previous transactions as well."

This Marathi Jinnah is unable to conceive of India, just as the original Jinnah. The original fellow succeeded in getting independent Pakistan but this fellow will not succeed in getting independent Maharashtra for the simple reason that the majority of Maharashtrians are Hindus.

God created both good and evil....On one hand he created Sachin Tendulkar and on the other hand he created Raj Thackeray.....strange that both are from Maharashtra but India is proud of one but doesn't think the same about the other
