Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis responded to Raj Thackeray's 'outsider' jibe by highlighting Nitin Gadkari's and his own contributions to Mumbai's development. Fadnavis emphasized that while some born in Mumbai couldn't drive development, leaders like Gadkari and himself, under PM Modi's leadership, have significantly advanced the city. He also advised elected representatives to serve society with patience rather than acting as rulers of their areas, citing Nagpur's development as an example.
