A political row has erupted in Mumbai ahead of BMC polls concerning the city's identity. The controversy ignited after a statement suggesting Mumbai is an 'international city' rather than solely a Maharashtra city. This led to heated exchanges involving MNS chief Raj Thackeray, Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, and UBT supremo Uddhav Thackeray, with accusations of 'vulgar political low' and slurs. Fadnavis defended his colleague and criticized the opposition as the campaign for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation concludes.
