Thackray has done an unprecedented thing to Bihar. A divided state along the caste and creed lines, there was never seen any unity among the sections of Bihar. However, they are all united against the atrocities perpetuated by Thackray.

This type of statement reassures the citizen that those in charge of maintaining law and order are actually vigilant and the city they live in is safe.

After the arrest drama enacted by Maharashtra government, Thackray’s security was downgraded to Y-Category, which infuriated Thackray so much that he refused to accept such security and expressed that he was capable of managing his own security. The government was trying some means to mollify Raj Thackray and Rahul Raj gave them enough reason to restore Z-Category security .

Thackray has done an unprecedented thing to Bihar. A divided state along the caste and creed lines, there was never seen any unity among the sections of Bihar. However, they are all united against the atrocities perpetuated by Thackray. He has become the hate figure and the disgust towards him can be seen and felt in the air.

The ominous sign for him is that even powerful castes, which had disassociated themselves in the belief that atrocities against Biharis were directed towards those who had no social standing in the state have expressed unity as well. The poor and backward were ill treated and discriminated against in their home state forcing them to migrate. The powerful and mighty earlier exuded confidence that they could subtly reply this Thackeray in his own den if he dared to anger them. Now all these people are actually very angry and if the situation is not controlled then in future violent clashes can not be ruled out. Not himself a saint, Abu Ajmi of Samajwadi Party (SP) had warned that the atrocities committed by Thackray might give birth to terrorism.

Rahul was overpowered by negative emotions against Thackray and that naivety took away his life, but there are tens of thousands of youth who are as angry, but have not yet lost their faith in the legal system.

Rahul could have harmed any innocent person, but he chose not to do so only indicates that the anger is directed toward Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), not towards any average Maharashtrians.

Politicians, oblivious of the situation, are still not ready to accept the situation. The reality is that now those who abuse Thackray more are likely to garner more votes. And this crescendo has developed gradually so it is not likely to dissipate very soon.

Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are seen maintaining a deliberate silence. Congress is not present in Bihar and perhaps this has led to its inaction. BJP did not want to lose Marathi votes. It might have been successful in its strategy, but who will vote for it in Bihar now?

There is still time to redeem the situation for these national parties. They can end the theatrics and force Maharashtra government to arrest Thackray under some stringent laws.
