Mumbai: Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's son Aaditya Thackeray has asked Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis to name the Tata official who said that the conditions in the state were not suitable for the Airbus project. Aditya claimed that the project was shifted to Gujarat at the behest of the Centre. He accused the state government of losing thousands of crores of projects due to their negligence.

Aaditya Thackeray said, "I challenge Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis to name the Tata company official who said that the situation was not appropriate to set up the Airbus project in Maharashtra. Because what we know is that Tata was specifically told by the central government that they have to set up the project in Gujarat." He also challenged CM Eknath Shinde to have a one-on-one debate with him on the issue. Aditya also attacked the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis-led government and said that Shinde should have spoken on the issue of investment in Maharashtra.

Aaditya Thackeray said, "Every penny is important, so every investment that comes into the state should be welcomed. But then we lost Vedanta-Foxconn, the medical equipment park, bulk drug park, Airbus project and much more. What we brought It is a project worth Rs 2000 crore whereas we have lost more than Rs 1 lakh crore project." He also commented on Fadnavis's allegations that Foxconn's absence from Maharashtra was announced by the then Industries Minister Subhash Desai in September last year. Thackeray said, "I am not saying that the Deputy CM is lying, or that he is trying to mislead the people of Maharashtra. But it is certain that he is not being properly informed by his people." But it is certain that they are not being properly informed by their people. "Had he been properly briefed, he would have read the details and knew that there was a difference between the Foxconn and Vedanta Foxconn deals. According to Aditya, "Foxconn had promised to come to the state at the Maharashtra summit in 2018. Then, they searched the place in Tamil Nadu and maybe after that they went to USA and started production.'' Since they had not come to Maharashtra for 5 years, the space reserved for them ended. Subhash Desai had said in the House that Foxconn is not going to come to Maharashtra.
