Thank God, we don’t have a Bal Thackeray in Delhi: Dikshit
March 20th, 2010 - 10:42 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, March 20 (IANS) Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit Saturday ridiculed Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray for attacking non-Marathis in Maharashtra and said that Delhi was truly cosmopolitan.
“Thank God, we don’t have a Bal Thackeray! We have a truly cosmopolitan population. We have people from Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir, from the northeast. Everybody who comes to Delhi finds it to be a very comfortable and warm place to live in,” said Dikshit.
“There is no distinction here. What is happening in Mumbai certainly does not happen in Delhi,” she said.
Speaking at the Asia Corporate Conference her, she said: “Delhi is a very unique city as nothing belongs to it. Even our weather is imported. If it snows somewhere we get the cold, if it does not rain somewhere, we get the heat. We get our water from outside and we also get our power from outside.”
