Maharashtra CM: De's Mumbai statehood comment frivolous, NO separation!
August 01, 2013

Here's what making a mountain out of a molehill means.

Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan reacts to author, columnist, socialite, Shobhaa De's tweet suggesting the separation of Mumbai from Maharashtra. Chavan says De's statement is "frivolous and state will remain united. Neither Mumbai nor Vidharbha will be separated from Maharashtra," he said today.

Yesterday, De tweeted: "Maharashtra and Mumbai? Why not? Mumbai has always fancied itself as an independent entity, anyway. This game has countless possibilities."
