K. Annamalai Dares Raj Thackeray Over 'Rasmalai' Jibe: 'I Will Come To Mumbai, Do What You Want'

BJP leader K. Annamalai has strongly responded to MNS chief Raj Thackeray after being targeted with insults at a Mumbai rally ahead of the BMC polls. After Thackeray called him 'Rasmalai' and revived the 'Hatao Lungi, Bajao Pungi' slogan, Annamalai issued a direct challenge: 'I will come to Mumbai, do what you want'. He asserted that he is not scared of any threats, adding that the Thackerays are in the habit of insulting Tamils and run their 'business' by issuing such threats. Annamalai, who identifies as the 'son of a farmer', stated that he considers earning the anger of the Thackerays a great achievement. The war of words erupted after Annamalai campaigned for BJP councillors in Mumbai, focusing on the city's Tamil-speaking population.
