Mumbai: Senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut dropped a bombshell on Friday when he said that the BJP is conspiring to make Mumbai a Union Territory.
The MP added it was BJP leader Kirit Somaiya who was spearheading the move and that he has proof to back his claim.
“Presentations are being made in Mumbai by them (BJP) to make Mumbai a city that can be ruled by the Central government. A person who has sponsored such presentations is a big builder from Mumbai.. a person from Varanasi is also involved. The entire conspiracy is led by Kirit Somaiya,” Raut was quoted as saying by ANI.
Raut said that Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray is aware of this development.
He claimed that the Somaiya-led group is likely to move court soon arguing that percentage of Marathi people in Mumbai has gone down drastically and hence the city should be made a UT.
Raut has often been at odds with BJP. Earlier this week, the Enforcement Directorate attached properties of Raut and his wife worth Rs 11.5 crore.
