Mumbai, March 06: After batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar and industrialist Mukesh Ambani, Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayanan is the latest to face the Shiv Sena ire for saying that Mumbai belongs to all.
“Saying that migrants will continue to come to Mumbai is akin to betrayal of Maharashtra,” Sena chief Bal Thackeray said in an editorial in party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ here today.
The Governor had said yesterday that “anybody can live in Mumbai. Only Mumbai can compete with itself. The rich, middle class and the poor co-exist here”.
In an informal interaction with media persons, his first since taking over the gubernatorial post, he said though civic and infrastructure facilities needed to be upgraded in the megapolis, migration from other parts of the country cannot be curbed.
