Raj Thackeray comes under fire for calling CST as VT

The bustling terminus, designed by Frederick William Stevens, a consulting architect in 1887-1888, was renamed as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in 1996 but the abbreviation VT has stuck and Raj proved he is no exception.

"At a recent function here, Raj repeatedly called CST as VT. He has no right to preach others," former minister Nawab Malik said.

Raj was addressing a gathering at the railway station, recalling his visits to the terminus during college days.

The MNS chief then travelled by the Harbour line to CST for three years while studying at the JJ School of Arts.
