Announcing his decision to lead a march to the Adani Group office in Mumbai on December 16, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray on December 6 claimed that the government is favouring the business conglomerate in the Dharavi redevelopment project, citing suspicious decisions, including a Transferable Development Rights (TDR) sale clause benefiting Adani Group significantly.
“To protect the interest of Dharavi residents, Shiv Sena will march to the Adani Group office on December 16. I will lead the rally,” he said.
In July, the Maharashtra government formally awarded the 259-hectare Dharavi Redevelopment project to an Adani Group firm. Mr. Thackeray questioned whether the State government was prioritising Adani over the residents of Dharavi, a vast slum colony.
