Re: So whose Bombay is it anyway?
And as was being said, the issue is not black and white. EVen though the majority feel that the city is for all Indians its not a big majority
NDTV.com: Mumbai belongs to everyone: NDTV poll
If you ask only Maharashtrians, 61 per cent of them feel Mumbai is for all Indians.
Replying to the question - Do you think that Amitabh Bachchan favours UP over Maharashtra, 59 per cent of Mumbai residents say that Amitabh Bachchan is as loyal to Mumbai as he is to UP. However 41% did agree that he was more loyal to UP
If you take only Maharashtrians' responses, 54 per cent feel the same way.
When asked if Raj Thackeray was doing this simply to get political mileage?
Interestingly, 56 per cent of Mumbai citizens say Raj Thackeray's outburst against emigrants from North Indian outburst is genuine and not for political mileage.
And if you ask only Maharashtrians, 62 per cent believe Raj Thackeray is genuinely worried about North Indian emigrants in Mumbai.
And finally, the question: Who is Bal Thackeray true political heir? At least 39 per cent of Mumbai residents back his son Uddhav, while only 23 per cent back Raj as the true inheritor of Bal Thackeray's legacy.
