Raj Thackeray Speaks

Raj Thackeray has been angering people lately with his comments. The last few days are no exception. First he called the Chhat festival a "drama." After that he lashed out at superstar Amitabh Bachchan for not being loyal enough to Maharashtra.

'Amitabh Bachchan chose to contest elections from Uttar Pradesh instead of Mumbai. If a person of such stature who is revered in Mumbai can feel patriotic about his own state, can't Raj Thackeray feel the same?'' he said.

The comments drew a rebuke from Amar Singh who said: ''Amitabh Bachchan is revered not just in India but all over the world. He doesn't need a certificate of loyalty from Raj Thackeray.''

What do you think of Raj Thackeray's comments?
