Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray on Saturday targeted Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.Gujarat is not PakistanCommented and asked whether Maharashtra is Pakistan to take the Vedanta-Foxconn project to Gujarat.
He was addressing an event to pay respect to social reformer and his great-grandfather Keshav Thackeray, also known as Prabhodankar Thackeray in Maharashtra.
Speaking at the event, Aaditya Thackeray questioned, “Is Maharashtra Pakistan that you ran this project (Vedanta-Foxconn) for Gujarat? What wrong have the youth here done?”
Fadnavis on Friday said Gujarat has won the Vedanta-Foxconn Semiconductor project 1.5 lakh crore by declaring the neighboring state as “not Pakistan”.
The Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra accused the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) administration of corruption. The BJP leader insisted that, when the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA administration was in office, a “10% commission” had to be paid before any subsidy could be used.
He singled out the Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, without mentioning the group in particular, for rejecting high-profile initiatives such as the Ratnagiri refinery and Wadhawan port in Palghar, as well as the Mumbai Metro Phase 3 and the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train. When he took over as the Deputy Chief Minister for the first time, he met Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal. The state made a customs offer to the business to compete with Gujarat, but Fadnavis claimed he was informed that a decision was about to move the project to the neighboring state.
Maharashtra underperformed Gujarat in attracting foreign investment during the MVA administration, but Fadnavis said Maharashtra will catch up to Gujarat in the next two years.
“Gujarat is no Pakistan. It is our brother. It is a healthy competition. We want to overtake Karnataka,” Fadnavis said.
He claimed that Maharashtra could hardly defeat Gujarat with the opposition’s “stop everything” strategy. When he served as chief minister from 2014 to 2019, the amount of foreign investment in the state increased from $6 billion in 2013 to $26 billion, according to Fadnavis.
