Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on September 11 alleged that the upcoming special session of the Parliament was designed to split Maharashtra and separate Mumbai from the State and declare it as a Union Territory.
“Mumbai is pride of not just Maharashtra, but the entire country. The agenda of the upcoming special session of Parliament is planned to split Maharashtra and take industries from Mumbai to Gujarat,” claimed Mr. Patole, speaking in Gondia district.
The Congressman, however, did not elaborate the basis of his claims.
