BJP leader's 'Bombay' comment sparks backlash over Mumbai's identity ahead of BMC polls.
Tamil Nadu BJP leader K Annamalai sparked controversy days before Mumbai’s BMC elections by referring to the city as “Bombay” and asserting it is not solely part of Maharashtra, calling it an “international city.” His comments, which advocated for a BJP-led “triple-engine government,” drew sharp criticism from Shiv Sena (UBT) and other opposition leaders who condemned the remarks as an insult to Marathi identity and the 106 martyrs of the Samyukta Maharashtra movement.
Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut demanded legal action, while opposition figures reaffirmed Mumbai’s inseparable link to Maharashtra.
The BJP’s Maharashtra leadership downplayed the backlash, suggesting the remarks may have been misunderstood.
