This India Today special report covers the escalating political conflict surrounding the Mumbai identity row ahead of the BMC polls. The controversy began after a statement regarding Mumbai being an 'international city' rather than just a Maharashtra city, leading to a 'vulgar political low' involving slurs and hateful comments. The transcript highlights the 'Slugfest after MNS Supremo Raj Thackeray's vulgar attack on BJP's Annamalai explodes' following the latter's comments on the city's status. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis intervened to defend his colleague, prompting counter-attacks from both the MNS chief and UBT supremo Uddhav Thackeray. Fadnavis criticised the opposition, suggesting they face a 'threat to survival' as the campaign concludes. The report underscores the deep political divide as voters prepare to decide the future leadership of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation amidst a heated 'triple-engine Sarkar' debate.
