Nobody more Mumbaikar than me, am not an outsider: Goyal

The Hindu  

Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who is the BJP's candidate from Mumbai North, hit out at leaders of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi on Wednesday for labelling him an outsider, saying they are "helpless" and making ridiculous arguments. They said voters of Mumbai North would send "Pedder Road's parcel back to Pedder Road" in the Lok Sabha elections for the parliamentary constituency on May 20. Goyal is pitted against Congress candidate Bhushan Patil, who contested the Maharashtra Assembly elections in 2009 from Borivali, an assembly segment in the Mumbai North parliamentary seat. The Union Minister said going by the logic of the opposition, Gaikwad, a former Maharashtra Minister contesting against BJP candidate Ujjwak Nikam from Mumbai North Central, is herself an outsider to the constituency as she hails from Dharavi, which falls under the Mumbai South Central parliamentary seat.
