You may agree with Prasad on the white line issue, you may not. That's your choice.
But this whole thing made me think about something bigger.
Mumbai was built by the Koli and Agri-Koli samaj. Fishing is not just their job, it's who they are. And yet in some areas of this very city, Marathi people are regularly denied flats just for being Marathi.
People are rejected just for eating non-veg. In their own home.
This is not new. Even Pankaja Munde, a sitting cabinet minister, came out and said she was denied a flat in Mumbai for being Marathi.
Prasad has talked about this before too. But he only really acted when it happened in his own society.
A white line in one society got everyone talking. But Marathi people being denied homes in some areas of their own city, quietly, systematically, for years, somehow never did.
The white line is just one small part of a much larger problem that has been ignored for far too long.
Prasad's choice of words could have been better. But the issue he raised is very real.

But a 1000-word essay on the subject "Modi becomes the longest-serving prime minister of India"
Yesterday, he was drunk at his fans' house in Kanakapura and unable to walk straight to Bangalore when gunmen took him to a car and made him sit.
We are blessed to have such a Chief Minister 🤣🤣
