CHENNAI/MUMBAI: A day after Sena (UBT) and MNS slammed him for saying Mumbai is not a Maharashtrian city but an international one, former Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai dug in his heels on Monday, asserting that the city doesn’t belong to Maharashtra alone. “Some said they will cut my legs if I visit Mumbai. I will come to Mumbai. Try cutting my legs,” he said, adding his remark was misrepresented. “If I say Mumbai is a world-class city, does that mean Maharashtrians didn’t build it?” He said Mumbai’s growth was intrinsically linked to the contributions of Marathis.BJP’s MLA from Sion-Koliwada, R Tamil Selvan, said the remark was misconstrued for political gains.
While Sena (UBT) had sought Annamalai’s arrest, MNS chief Raj Thackeray had mocked him and questioned his right to speak about Mumbai.
