Mumbai is a metro city and Financial Capital of India. Mumbai city is not meant only for Maharashtrians. More than 40% population is non-maharashtrians. People came here from every corner of India. And the combined efforts shaped todays Mumbai. The contribution of Shiv Sena is only renaming Bomaby into Mumbai, nothing else. Shiv Sena came to power BMC because of Sharad Pawar game plan, whereas Congress is now playing Raj Thakeray card against NCP. A combined NCP and Cong can vanish Shiv Sena and MNS from Mumbai Political Scenerio.

Dream on dude. If you think that is only restricted to Maharashtrians that support Shiv Sena. I have been a kangress supporter for a long time, but this issue transcends all political boundaries in maharashtra. It is not restricted to a particular party. Not withstanding nay's from politicians the support for this cause is indeed cutting across all party lines. Initially Bal Thakeray opposed this, but as can be seen he changed his mind due to popular support. Not that he is going to get any benefit from it.
