AADITYA THACKERAY TAKES A DIG AT SHINDE GOVERNMENT ON MOVING TATA PROJECT TO GUJARAT

After the "Tata Airbus Project" was shifted from Maharastra to Gujarat on Friday, former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray took a dig at the Shinde-Fadnavis government and said that the industry has lost faith in the "Khoke government."

Defence officials announced informed earlier on Thursday that Tata-Airbus will manufacture the C-295 transport aircraft for the Indian Air Force in Vadodara, Gujarat.

"Since July, I have been continuously demanding that 'Tata Airbus project' should not be moved out of Maharashtra. But it happened again. Why are the projects in Maharashtra going out for the last three months?," Thackeray tweeted.

Thackeray further lambasted the two-engine system of government, claiming that even though the Centre is working well, the state government has failed badly.

"It can be seen that the industry has no faith in the Khoke government. Now even after 4 projects escape from Maharashtra, will the Industries Minister resign?," he tweeted.

The scathing attacks follows the states' loss of other projects, including the Vedant Foxconn project.

We brought investment of Rs 80,000 crore from Davos and Rs 6.5 lakh crore during the Covid time while we were in power in the state and BJP at the Centre, he said.

He further expressed that he isn't unhappy the project is going out of Maharashtra. "The question is why isn't the government doing anything to bring it to the state? Chief Ministers of other states are coming to Maharashtra to hold meetings and summits with investors, but when our CM went, he went for himself," Thackeray added.

Former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray asserted that the chief minister visited Delhi only for himself and that he did not bring up Maharashtra or any of the state's various projects.

Thackeray also requested that the government declare wet drought compensation and modifications to the parameters for farmers.

"Our slogan is simple 'Give or Go', either you give help to Farmers or vacant the chair," he said.
