As the Indian economy grows the regionalism is only going to get stronger. Regionalism needs to be "managed" as reality rather than turning a blind eye towards it or hiding behind convenient interpretation of constitution.
I think it is justified that locals would want outsiders only if they enrich local economy and lifestyle.
In most of developed world including USA, Singapore, France etc., there are laws which require employers to pay same salary as they will pay to locals. This prevents influx of cheap inferior skilled workers from outside which would deteriorate local life style. In fact they have well defined categories under which they "welcome" immigrants. This requirement is ethical and fair and no one complains.
City councils should debate and come up with ethical policies on how to handle influx of people from other parts of country. Such articulation of policies will result in better city governance, fair treatment of migrants and better quality of life for existing residents.
