Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis recently criticized Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), saying that he doesn’t want to hold up any ongoing projects like Thackeray did. During a speech thanking Governor CP Radhakrishnan for his address to the legislature, Fadnavis emphasized that the decisions made while Eknath Shinde was Chief Minister were made together by him and Ajit Pawar, not just by Shinde alone.
Fadnavis highlighted how the Mahayuti government, which includes the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP, works together with all leaders contributing to decisions. He defended himself against accusations of stopping projects, explaining that sometimes officials might delay something because it doesn’t meet central guidelines, but people still blame him.
He mentioned that the last assembly elections showed strong support for the Mahayuti, with people trusting their leadership. Fadnavis shared that his government has a new 100-day action plan aimed at improving how things work at all levels of government. The Quality Council of India will judge each department based on its performance during this time, and the top achievers will be recognized on May 1.
Fadnavis also announced that Mumbai’s Metro 3, the longest underground metro line in India, will be fully open by June 2025, with all metro lines set to finish by 2027. He criticized the opposition for praising Gujarat’s investment, saying Maharashtra has attracted three times more investment than Gujarat.
He introduced the Nagpur-Goa Shaktipeeth Expressway, a 802-kilometer road that will improve travel in Marathwada and connect different regions of Maharashtra to Goa. He mentioned that 200 farmers supported the project during a meeting.
