Exclusive: Piyush Goyal's '0+0=0' Swipe On Thackeray Unity In BMC Polls | Read
The people of Mumbai have a large heart and nobody is an "outsider", Union Minister Piyush Goyal has said, countering the opposition's 'Marathi Manoos' narrative for the upcoming election to the Maximum City's civic body, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. He also took a swipe at the reunion of the Thackeray brothers, saying that "zero plus zero is equal to zero". The minister spoke to NDTV's CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Rahul Kanwal, Managing Editor, Padmaja Joshi, and Associate Editor Puja Bhardwaj at NDTV's Power Play for the upcoming civic polls.
He said there can be no Viksit Bharat without a Viksit Mumbai and Viksit Maharashtra and said the BJP is committed to the city's development.
"For years, Uddhav Thackeray ran the BMC, but every year, we would face monsoon woes. After the monsoon, road repair would begin, but by the time they would be completed, the rains would return," he said.
