Rumours of another project going to Gujarat lead to uproar
Hindustan TimesMUMBAI: A political controversy has erupted over reports that the first submarine tourism project in the country, which was supposed to be at Nivati in Sindhudurg district, will now be in Gujarat’s Dwarka. While the opposition parties slammed the state government for allowing Gujarat to take away yet another Maharashtra project, chief minister Eknath Shinde claimed that the project would remain in the state. Now we have discovered that the project is being shifted to Dwarka in Gujarat.” MVA leaders slammed the Shinde-Fadnavis government for being silent spectators while Gujarat continued to take projects away. Gujarat is taking away projects that give employment to the youth and in return supplying drugs which destroy the youth.” Added NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad, “Take everything to Gujarat.” Leader of the opposition Vijay Wadettiwar said that the so-called triple-engine government was nothing but an NOC-giver to the Gujarat government to take away Maharashtra’s projects. “One after another, projects have been taken there but the CM and two DCMs only go to Delhi to salute their political masters.” Shinde, however, denied that the submarine tourism project was shifting to Gujarat.
