Maha development plan took a hit under MVA: Maha Yuti

"Rahul Gandhi in his press conference gave misinformation about Dharavi redevelopment project. Dharavi land has been given to DRP and not to Gautam Adani. When Uddhav Thackeray was the CM, only 60,000 people of Dharavi were eligible to get pakka houses and commercial shops in redevelopment project, but we amended the law to give houses to two lakh Dharavikars," Shinde said.

He asked why the MVA government cancelled the tender for Dharavi project after issuing it. "When the MVA was in power, they held meeting with Adani for this redevelopment project, but now it is opposing the perject. Where did the deal fizzle out? People should know about it," he said.
