This news report covers the escalating political confrontation in Maharashtra following remarks made by BJP leader K. Annamalai regarding Mumbai’s identity. The controversy began when Annamalai stated, ‘Mumbai is not a Maharashtra city, it is an international city,’ triggering sharp reactions from MNS chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray. Raj Thackeray accused Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of lying to protect his colleague, while Uddhav Thackeray mocked Annamalai’s electoral record in Tamil Nadu, calling him a ‘zero’. In response, Devendra Fadnavis hit back, asserting that the upcoming BMC battle is about the political survival of the Thackeray brothers rather than Marathi identity. Fadnavis further countered Uddhav Thackeray by pointing out that it was during Thackeray’s tenure as Chief Minister that the cabinet approved the mandatory teaching of Hindi and English in schools. The report highlights the deepening rift between the Mahayuti alliance and the opposition over regional pride and administrative control of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
