BJP shakes hands with Raj, stokes Maha anger on ‘shrill Marathi-manoos’ pitch

New Indian Express  

MUMBAI: The BJP’s decision to tie up with the Raj Thackeray-led MNS for Lok Sabha elections may backfire following perceived anger among North Indians, who are in significant numbers in Mumbai, against a shrill ‘Marathi-manoos’ pitch of MNS in the past. In Mumbai, the Marathi population is around 30%, while North Indians count around 20%, Muslims are 18%, South India 10% while the rest are Gujaratis Christians and other communities. This BJP decision has forced us to think twice before supporting the BJP,” said a North Indian leader. “I do not think North Indians will go against the BJP,” Singh added.
