 "BJP's hidden agenda is to separate Mumbai from Maharashtra: NCP")

NCP spokesman Nawab Malik had also tweeted on December 7 that Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis wants Prime Minister Narendra Modi to head a “civic authority” formed for the “development” of Mumbai city. This reveals the BJP’s “hidden conspiracy” to make Mumbai city a Centre-ruled state and take it away from Maharashtra.
