EC sends notice to Raj Thackeray for his poll remarks
The MNS chief reportedly claimed that if his party comes to power, the entry of non-Maharashtrians in the state will be barred.
The poll panel issued a prima facie notice to Thackeray for violating the model code of conduct.
The EC gave him time till October 15 morning to respond to the notice.
Thackeray had said during a poll rally at Ghatkopar assembly constituency on October 5: “From the day, you give this state in my hands, from that day the employment in any industry created in Maharashtra will be given only to Marathi boys and girls in Maharashtra. No employment will be given to the boys and girls from other states. Their entry will also be stopped. Their inquiry will be started from the train itself.
