With BMC Elections 2017 round the corner and to consolidate the Marathi votes, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief, Raj Thackeray said the ruling government should implement a domicile policy like the one implemented in Jharkhand to protect the interests of local.
 
He said that if the policy is implemented it will benefit the locals.
 
“Jharkhand is implementing such a policy and we should also do the same,” he said, adding, outsiders benefit from the government schemes.
 
As per Jharkhand’s new domicile policy, those who have been living in the state in pursuance of their business or jobs and have acquired immovable assets in the last 30 years, or their children, would be considered residents of the state. Also, those having their or their ancestors’ names in the land records in the survey already conducted would be considered having domicile of the state.
 
“We respect court, but court can’t intervene in all matters. The court should have asked state government to take a call. Why is the state and central government there? It has become a trend that anyone approaches court and takes stay on the government’s order,” Thackeray said. The MNS chief also raised his concern about suspected ISIS activity in the state.
