People can take their offense at some politician telling someone to visit Mumbai or not and shove it up their own .... .
Sanjay Raut is well within his rights to say that if Kangana Ranaut does not feel safe in Mumbai then she should not come to Mumbai. He is not just some politician, he is the spokesperson of the ruling party of Maharashtra and editor in chief of Ruling Party's mouth piece. Did he actually say anything threatening to Kangana Ranaut , if yes, what did he say ?
As far as 'spirit of Mumbai' is concerned the loudmouths everywhere are more than welcome to create the similar spirit in other cities of India. It has been 70 years, we are waiting to see more cities like Mumbai. But I guess these loudmouths cannot do it so they have now resorted to staking false claims to Mumbai.
Maharashtra is Bombay State and Bombay was capital of Bombay state. It was Gujarat that was severed from Maharashtra and in no way Mumbai was going to be given to Gujarat.
Mumbai was built by 3 groups of people Marathis(Agris, Kolis who are the original inhabitants and other people from Maharashtr), Parsis and Gujaratis. Jains also contributed but these 3 groups are the actual people who built Mumbai but they identify themselves as Mumbaikars first. Others just came to have a share of the pie that had already been cooked and now some them are trying to stake a claim in building of Mumbai.
We saw during Covid-19 how Mumbai was deserted by these newly minted 'Mumbaikars' and even though these loudmouth's left, the Mumbaikars stayed back and Mumbai is still functioning and functioning well without them.
What is true about Mumbai is true about major cities like Pune, Nagpur and Nashik in Maharashtr, people get easily accepted here as they are. Because this happens people from other states think that they can come to Maharashtr and ride roughshod over Marathi people and get away with it just like Kangana Ranaut thought. This does not happen in other states.
