The Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led state government has attracjed massive outrage from the Opposition for losing projects like the over βΉ 1.5 lakh crore investment from Vedanta-Foxconn on chip manufacturing and the βΉ 22,000 crore aircraft manufacturing project where the Tata Group has tied up with Airbus to BJP-ruled Gujarat.
Maharashtra industrial minister Uday Samant on Friday, slamming the opposition for creating “confusion” over the project, had claimed that the deal to set up the Tata-Airbus C-295 transport aircraft project in Gujarat had been signed by the Centre in September 2021, when the Uddhav Thackeray led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government was in power in the state.
Former Maharashtra Environment minister Aaditya Thackeray had recently called Mr. Shinde’s government a “traitor” to the state for “failing to protect the state’s interests”.
He alleged that the aircraft manufacturing project was the fourth project which has gone away from Maharashtra since the new coalition government consisting of rebel Shiv Sena MLAs, and the BJP came to power.
The Yuva Sena chief said that big and small projects used to come to Maharashtra because of merit. “But today, despite having the merit, these projects are going to the other state,” he said.
Roads and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari had also sought investments from the Tata Group in and around Nagpur, citing strengths like infrastructure, land availability, and connectivity in his home state Maharashtra as two recent megaprojects went to Gujarat.
