On return of MVA, pro-Adani decisions will be scrapped first: Uddhav Thackeray | India News – Times of India

MUMBAI: Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday confronted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that since ‘Modi ki guarantee’ did not work, the Prime Minister was forced to seek votes in the name of Balasaheb Thackeray in Maharashtra. He accused the MahaYuti government of trying to bring “Adani ki sultani (Adani’s rule)” to the state and said he would scrap decisions in favor of the state. Adani in the first cabinet meeting of the next MVA government and take back all the land given to the group in Mumbai.
Thackeray said there is a real threat of Mumbai’s status as India’s financial capital being undermined by MahaYuti. He said the NITI Aayog’s blueprint for economic transformation of the BMR will be shelved as it was a ploy to loosen the state’s control over the city. He said he would also scrap the MoU signed between planning agency MMRDA and the World Economic Forum and, if necessary, stop MMRDA from operating in Mumbai if it is found that it would erode BMC’s autonomy.
He was speaking at the last MVA meeting at BKC’s Pathaka Maidan. The election campaign ends on Monday at 5 p.m.; Sunday evening was the last mega rally in the city. City Congress chief Varsha Gaikwad was present along with other MVA officials.
He said if the MahaYuti wins on November 23, crackers will burst in Gujarat. “In the first cabinet meeting of MVA, whatever was given to Adani will be taken back. Dharavikars will be resettled in Dharavi along with their houses and industries.”
“This government wants to increase Mumbai’s gross domestic product. Niti Aayog has suggestions. Mumbai cannot be turned into a university. No BMC polls have been held… Mumbai is being looted by this government’s friends.”
He asked whether the call for a “dharma-yudh of votes” by Devendra Fadnavis of the BJP is in accordance with the model code of conduct. “I was asked to remove the words ‘Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji’ from our national anthem before the Lok Sabha elections. Now the EC has to tell me whether ‘dharma-yudh of voting’ is allowed or not.”
Referring to a statement by Pankaja Munde, he said people from Gujarat had been called to monitor voters in 90,000 booths in Maharashtra. “Pankaja, you have done a great job, you have removed the blindfold from the eyes of Maharashtra. Just like our Chandrachud (ex-CJI) removed the blindfold from the eyes of the Goddess of Justice and tied it in front of his own eyes, removed you are blindfolding the eyes of Maharashtra,” he said.
