'Whose dargah? Will build temple if': Structure razed after Raj Thackeray's dare

Raj Thackeray on Wednesday showed a drone footage and said an ‘illegal dargah’ is coming up in the middle of the sea off Mahim coast. If it's not immediately demolished, he will set up a huge Ganpati temple in the same place. The BMC on Thursday started demolishing the said structure.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray on Wednesday in his Gudi Padwa address played a clip and claimed that an 'illegal dargah' has come up off the Mahim coast in Mumbai. "Whose dargah it is? Is it of a fish? It was not there a couple of years ago. "If the illegal construction is not demolished immediately, then we would construct a huge Ganpati temple at the same place," Raj Thackeray warned. On Thursday, the BMC started demolishing the said structure.
