Mumbai: Shiv Sena-UBT's Aaditya Thackeray Accepts CM Eknath Shinde's Debate Challenge On Controversial Dharavi Redevelopment Project

Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said he has accepted Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s challenge for a face-to-face debate on the Dharavi redevelopment project.

“The CM should present his development projects, and I will present ours and we should start with the Dharavi project,” he said during a media interaction on Monday.

‘The Project Is Riddled With Loopholes,’ Says Shiv Sena (UBT) Leader Aaditya Thackeray

Thackeray said the project is riddled with loopholes. “To begin with, 75% of Dharavi land belongs to the BMC and the remaining to other agencies like MHADA and BEST. These agencies should get Rs 7000 crore towards premium, which they will not,” said Thackeray, alleging massive corruption designed to favour one firm.

Thackeray also criticised MMRDA for issuing tenders worth Rs 15,000 crore within 20 days.

“The state has an outstanding payment of Rs 40,000 crore, which it owes to contractors, who are now planning to protest. While there is money for friendly contractors, those who do the work are not being paid their dues,” he said.

Thackeray also pointed out that the residents of Government Colony in Bandra East have been on hunger strike for the last four days, demanding ownership of houses and plots, which his party had promised. “However, after the change in government, this project, like many others, has been stalled,” he said.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made it clear on the Hindi-Marathi language dispute that linguistic discrimination and violence cannot be tolerated. If anyone instigates violence in the name of Marathi language or takes the law into his own hands, strict action will be taken against him because it is the government’s responsibility to maintain law and order. He said that in the Mira Road Hindi Marathi violence case, the police have registered a case and taken action.

A committee has been formed in the matter of Marathi and Hindi language. Whatever is better for the students on its recommendation, the government will implement it. No decision has been taken under anyone’s pressure. He said that the recommendation for Hindi language was made during the Maha Vikas Aghadi rule itself, but now these same people are opposing it. The public knows everything.

He said that in this election, BJP has got 51 percent Marathi votes. Violence and discrimination in the name of language cannot be tolerated. Marathi is a source of pride for us, but we do not oppose Hindi. What will happen if a Marathi businessman in another state is asked to speak his language? In Assam, he was asked to speak Assamese. He said that strict action will be taken against those who break the law.
