Raj Thakre and Hindi and English electronic media

It is surprising that there are no after shocks in the media particularly Hindi and English electronic media. Raj has taken potshots at the approach of media in all the controversies where ever his involvement is. He targeted a Aajtak advertisement about TRP and pointed out how the media twists the political statements and creates controversies to gain TRP.

The shameless honchos in Hindi media, who were seen very partisan in reporting during those controversies. Labeling Raj Thakre as Hitler and preparing charge sheets on him. Is it the game of tapping insecurity of North Indians? Thakre's anger seems to be more at political organization of North Indians by Samajwadi Party and Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam. He attacked vehemently on Uttar Bhartiaya Diwas, stating it is no where celebrated in the North India and has become a political tool in the hands of UP and Bihari politicians in Mumbai.

At the ground level the Maharastrians in majority hate the North Indian ( read UP and Bihari) influx in Mumbai. As it is affecting the demography of the city and create overburdening on civic amenities. The landlocked city is already on shortage of land mass for housing and other civic amenities like water supply and sewage treatment. Rising crimanalities and some reports of base of terrorism in Ajamgadh district of Uttar Pradesh increases the anger again.
