The two-year-old Mahayuti government in Maharashtra has done much to restore industry confidence in the commercial city of Mumbai, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said on May 1, asserting that the record of the NDA governments at the State and the Centre would be enough for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to secure a third term.
In an exclusive interview to The Hindu, Mr. Shinde squarely blamed the attitude of the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government for industry getting spooked, especially after a bomb was found outside industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s residence three years ago.
“If bombs are placed outside the residence of an industrialist or a morcha is taken out against him or her, why would industrialists not fear to be here? But that was under the MVA government and we have done much to restore the faith of industry as no one can dare to carry out such acts; law and order is restored; incentives are being given to industry,” he said.
