Patna, (Bihar Times): Senior Nationalist Congress Party
leader from Maharashtra and a minister in Vilasrao
Deshmukh cabinet, Chhagan Bhujbal, on Friday said that
exodus of thousands of Bihari labourers from his state
had a detrimental impact on the commercial activities
there.
Bhujbal, who was here to attend the meeting of the
Nationalist Congress Party, said that said a large
number of factories and other commercial activities
got closed in his state following the hate campaign
uleashed by the Maharasshtra Navnirman Sena and Shiv
Sena activists. He said that men like Raj Thacekeray
of MNS had no base and the anti-outsider campaign was
nothing but a political stunt. He, however, said that
the people of Maharashtra had now realised the
importance of the labourers from Bihar and Uttar
Pradesh and the latter are gradually returning to the
state.
Bhujbal, who more than a decade back was himself in
Shiv Sena, hit out at chief minister Nitish Kumar, for
misleading the people in the name of development. His
tall promises have falied to yield any result, he told
the NCP workers meet.
