<description><![CDATA[Everyone here knows I am not a Raj Thackeray lover. But well, we know he can do certain things. He can bring Mumbai to a standstill when he wants. He can get jobs for sacked employees. So here is something which he can try and do. Demand that security in Mumbai should be totally fixed. Say that VT, churchgate, every other station should be made secure.Say that coastline should be totally protected.Say that WHATEVER MONEY is needed for all that, the government BETTER  find the money and fucking spend it. If it takes 10,000 crores, the indian goverment should find it and fix it.Say that if its not done, Mumbai will stop. Raj will ask people not to travel to work, no planes will be allowed to take off. Vidhan Sabha will be surrounded. Say that everyone who loves Mumbai should help him in this.Complete freeze.If he has the guts, let him say this. If he says it, Vilasrao will shit in his pants, RR Patil will cry for his mother, and Manmohan will run on Delhi streets without clothes.Let's see if Raj can do something like this.<br/><br/>13 Vote(s) ]]></description>
