Maharashtra cannot afford to let go of Nanar refinery project: MNS Chief Raj Thackeray writes to CM Uddhav Thackeray

In a politically significant development, MNS President Raj Thackeray has shot off a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray asking him to ensure that the super-refinery project in the coastal Konkan belt does not go out of the state.

The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena was earlier opposed to the project and had come out in support of locals who were against it.

“Sometime ago, I read that a major international project was passed onto Bengaluru and the Maharashtra state government was trying its best to get it back. This piece of news was rather heartbreaking. The other states are in a cut throat game of snatching projects out of Maharashtra. In such trying times, Maharashtra should not let go off the ‘Ratnagiri Rajapur Refinery’ project.
