"Certain sections of the media, both electronic and print, have misinterpreted the writings on my blog (bigb.bigadda.com) and I wish to make a clarification. Mumbai as a city has given my family and me a place in their hearts besides recognition and respect," he said in his letter on Wednesday.
"My family and I have never and at no point of time would ever like to disregard the conveniences of my fellow Mumbaikars and the development being undertaken for a better future for the city and them," he wrote.
"My blog represents my heart and on the matter of the Metro it clearly says the 'general happiness’ that it brings to ‘commuters’ and that 'the misery of crowded locals and the uncertainties of the three wheeler or the yellow black cab shall hopefully be greatly reduced’.
