Uddhav Thackeray halted the Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro 3 corridor’s construction after assuming the position of Chief Minister in 2019 and created a team to explore for alternate properties. Aarey Colony was classified as a reserve forest by the Aghadi administration.
After the Eknath Shinde government overruled the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi administration’s decision to move the Metro 3 vehicle shed out of the Aarey colony, former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray launched a full-scale attack on the Shinde administration on Friday.
The Shiv Sena leader requested the metro car shed to arrive at Kanjurmarg during his speech at the Sena Bhawan in Mumbai, expressing concerns that the government’s decision may result in the Aarey forests being gradually opened for development.
“Don’t make Mumbaikars feel angry because of me. Don’t make any changes to the metro shed idea. Don’t toy with the environment of Mumbai,” the former Chief Minister said.

The underground metro project was delayed as a result of a dispute between the previous government and the Centre over the location of a proposed car depot in Kanjurmarg, Mumbai.
Thackeray slammed the rebel Shiv Sena MLAs throughout his speech and argued for the right to recall for the voters.
“Those who created the new government appointed an alleged Shiv Sainik as the CM. 2.5 years ago, I said the same thing. Shiv Sena and BJP will each split the CM office for a half-term, as agreed upon by Amit Shah and I.” According to him, everything that occurred today would have been done with respect.
Thackeray questioned why the BJP did it now rather than when the Shiv Sena was formally allied with them in the state and at the federal level.
