Attempt to link Mumbai to Guj: Raj Thackeray on Minister's IIT 'Bombay' remark
MNS chief Raj Thackeray criticised Union MoS Jitendra Singh's remarks praising IIT for retaining the name Bombay and not changing it to Mumbai. "'Mumbai' irks them because it's named after Mumbadevi," Thackeray said. "An attempt to quietly take control of the city is...underway. First Mumbai, and then the...Mumbai Metropolitan Region will be seized and linked to Gujarat!" he added.
