Responding to the tweet, Aaditya Thackeray has expressed shock over the change of location for the plant, that the Uddhav Thackeray lead MVA goverment had bought to Maharashtra and was set to be in the state.”
“Ind Minister @Subhash_Desai ji,@midc_india and I held meetings fr bringing this semiconductor project to Maharashtra. For a project almost finalized, and a new dispensation claiming credit over it, only shows lack of commitment from the new dispensation for our Stateās progress, “Maharashtra’s former environment minister said.”
“However I wish the industry and the company well. Itās success will lead to a new horizon opening up for India. Under the MVA, our effort was to make Maharashtra, the lead state contributor to Indiaās progress, just like other states in a healthy competition,” Mr. Thackeray said in a subsequent tweet.

“MVA Industries Minister Sh. Subhash Desai ji & Environment Minister Sh Aaditya Thackeray had initiated the discussion upto the final stage. The government fell and the āEDā sarkar claimed credit for it & used it for PR news in July. Now in September handed it over to Gujarat.”
