Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday morning accused the BJP of trying to "turn the tide" ahead of civic polls in Mumbai while asserting that Mumbai remains a safe city, reported news agency ANI.

Raut further accused the BJP of raising the "Bangladeshi issue" each time before elections. The responsibility lies with Union Home Minister Amit Shah if there was an influx of Bangladeshi nationals in Mumbai, he said.
