| Leave us to ourselves, city Biharis tell Lalu Prasad |
By - Vijay V Singh
Biharis want Lalu Prasad to stay away from the outsider controversy.
"Lalu Prasad and his party are commenting on Raj and Bal Thackeray for political gains,"
said UK Singh, general secretary of Bihar Association, an organisation of Biharis living in Mumbai for three generations.
"But we don't need their sympathy as we are safe in Mumbai. Allow us to face the situation. Lalu and his party men are creating misunderstandings among communities."
The Bihar Association, founded in 1952, is one of the oldest cultural associations of the Bihari community. Singh criticised Lalu Prasad, saying he had no right to speak for the community.
"If he was so worried about the Bihari community, he should have created lots of job opportunities in Bihar when he was in power for 15 years," he said.
Members of the association, who met informally over the weekend, also condemned the action of some Rashtriya Janata Dal MLAs who did not let Bihar governor RS Gavai to speak in the state assembly.
"The governor is a constitutional authority; and we should respect it. We want to tell the people of Bihar that we are safe and in a position to face any situation," Singh said.
Another association member RD Singh said, "We have been staying in Mumbai for long.. Our children go to schools in Mumbai. We have almost become a part of Maharashtra's culture. We celebrate each and every festival in Mumbai in the same spirit."
Lalu Prasad was trying to gain publicity by making provocative statements on the MNS issue. "Every year we celebrate chhath pooja in Mumbai as it's our ritual," he said.
"Why is Lalu trying to make it a political issue? Why is he trying to make chhath pooja celebration a challenge? His comments can create trouble for us."

=======================================
All Maharashtrian and Mumbaikars feels the same when any minister from U.P. and Bihar Comment on the actions of Mr. Balasaheb Thakray and Raj Thakray.
Why these ministers of U.P. and Bihar don't look back to their past performance????
They need to review why they could not create Job opportunities in U.P. and Bihar since more than 60 yrs of Independance.
Why the government could not maintain law and order in the states of U.P. and Bihar???
What the ministers are doing " ONLY BHASHANBAJI"
What they think additional trains from U.P. and Bihar to Metro cities will solve the problem for them????
We all Marathi's wants the people of Bihar and U.P. to ask the above questions to their govt before migrating to other Metro Cities??
Now, you have seen the rebels of Assamese and Maharashtrians only. Situation will become worse if entire nation stand against you??
MAKE THE U.P. and BIHAR GOVT. ACCOUNTABLE TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS.....!!!!!
