Ajit Pawar, Aaditya Thackeray slam Maharashtra govt as TATA-Airbus project goes to Gujarat

With the TATA-Airbus transport aircraft project going to Gujarat instead of Nagpur in Maharashtra, Leader of the Opposition Ajit Pawar launched an offensive against the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadanavis government on Friday.

“It is learnt that the TATA-Airbus transport aircraft project that was to come up in Nagpur will now be at Baroda in Gujarat, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to lay the foundation stone for it. This means a huge investment and employment generated from it have gone,” said Pawar.

The TATA-Airbus project was important for the state, the Opposition leader said. “The new government should take a clear stand on investments going out of the state. They should give an explanation.
