<p>Mumbai Mayor and Shiv Sena leader Snehal Ambekar has compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the late German dictator Adolf Hitler.<br /><br /></p>.<p>In an interview with the Afternoon Despatch & Courier, 43-year-old Ambekar also fancied herself akin to a chief minister and desired a red-beacon vehicle which bestows status on the position she occupies.<br /><br />In the interview titled 'Modi's rule is quite Hitler-esque', she said: "I even admire Narendra Modi for his self-reliant way of working. But at some level, I feel his rule is quite like Hitler..."<br />"This is bound to happen when power is concentrated in the hands of one man," Ambekar, a first-time municipal corporator, said.<br /><br />Elected as the city's seventh woman and first Dalit woman mayor in September 2014, Ambekar has been in the limelight for some time for seeking a red beacon for her vehicle.<br />Now, the former LIC officer claimed that her position in the city was akin to the chief minister.<br /><br />"The mayor has constant emergencies, as well as we go to receive VVIPs as representatives of the masses. If a chief minister has red beacon, a mayor's status is pretty similar in terms of a city," she said.<br /><br />"I believe there is nothing wrong for a mayor in using a red beacon fitted car," she said in the interview.<br /><br />Ambekar's comments were the latest in a series of the barbs the Shiv Sena has fired at the BJP. Both the parties are allies in the centre and Maharashtra.</p>
