Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said the proposed ‘poisonous’ Ratnagiri Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited at Barsu in coastal Ratnagiri district should be moved to Gujarat and good investment projects from the neighbouring State be brought back to Maharashtra.
“The Chief Minister should come and talk to you like I’m doing. Apart from telling you why Konkan needs this harmful project and for whom it is so important, he should also answer why the State lost ‘safe’ projects like Vedanta-Foxconn, bulk drugs park, Tata-Airbus,” he told the protesters at Solgaon village in Rajapur taluka, more than 400 km from Mumbai.
