Targeting North Indians yet again, this time over a proposed autorickshaw strike, MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Tuesday alleged that most of the auto drivers caught indulging in malpractices "were from UP and Bihar".
"Over 95 % of automen caught indulging in malpractices were from UP and Bihar," Raj told reporters and threatened that his party would "step in" if commuters suffer due to the "arrogant" behaviour of autodrivers.
"All such people are coming from outside states.... They are staying in Mumbai and Thane using bogus documents," he said while lashing out at trade unionist Sharad Rao whose Mumbai Auto-rickshawmen's Union has threatened to go on indefinite strike next month.
"My appeal to Marathi automen is not to side with such people."
Raj said the "culture prevalent in places where they come from, they want to bring in the same culture here in Mumbai and Maharashtra."
