During Union Home Minister Amit Shah`s visit to Mumbai, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut slammed him and the BJP. Raut accused the BJP of weakening Mumbai`s identity and resources, and he expressed concern that the party was aiming to shift the city`s cultural and economic significance to Gujarat, reported ANI. 

According to the report, Raut began his statement by citing Amit Shah`s frequent visits to Lalbaugcha Raja, a popular destination during Mumbai`s Ganesh festival. He remarked, "Amit Shah is the Home Minister of the country and a leader of the BJP. People from all over the country come to see Lalbaugcha Raja, which is good. But, people are afraid that Amit Shah could take Lalbaugcha Raja to Gujarat as they have with other aspects of Mumbai’s identity. He can do anything."
