Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Raj Thackeray on Wednesday said Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh`s remark on not changing IIT Bombay`s name to IIT Mumbai shows the government`s mindset, reported news agency PTI.

"As far as IIT Bombay is concerned, thank God it still is this name. You have not changed it to Mumbai. So that`s another compliment to you. And also true for Madras. It remains IIT Madras," the minister had said, addressing a function at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay on Monday.
