'Mamdanisation of Mumbai': Population of ‘infiltrators’ up, UBT part of international conspiracy, says BJP chief Ameet Satam

MUMBAI: lleging that Sena (UBT) is part of an international conspiracy to change the colour of Mumbai, city BJP chief Ameet Satam alleged a growing settlement of “infiltrators”, particularly in Malwani.

Satam made a presentation on Wednesday pointing out that in predominantly minority-resident wards in Kurla, Chandivli, Malwani, and Malad-Madh, the population went up by 50% compared to 2017. He said illegal hutments in Malwani, Mankhurd, Malad, Deonar and Kurla went up by over a lakh, questioning who was behind their proliferation.


He warned that if it is not stopped in time, Mumbai could witness a Bondi beach situation, referring to the attack in Australia by two gunmen that killed 15 persons.

Asked if he was questioning the efficacy of the Central and state govts in preventing infiltration, Satam said he was highlighting Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray’s role in this international conspiracy to carry out the “Mamdanisation of Mumbai”.

He said in 2025, Mumbai police deported 1,000 Bangladeshis. “We will not allow the colour of Mumbai to change.”
