Censuring the erstwhile Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government as “anti-development,” Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday said Mr. Thackeray merely sat at home for the two-and-a-half years he was CM of the State.
“He [Mr. Thackeray] was just sitting at home and showing off for the two-and-a-half years that he was CM. But it is our Mahayuti government that is actually carrying out the development of Mumbai,” said Mr. Shinde, during his weekly cleanliness drive in Mumbai city.
The CM said that Mr. Thackeray had opposed the Metro car shed at Aarey in Mumbai, the construction of lines for the Mumbai Metro and had even tried to slow down the construction of the Samruddhi highway connecting Mumbai and Nagpur.
