Navi Mumbai: The Navi Mumbai unit of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) staged a protest against the state government after a number of mega projects went outside the state. The protest was held at Shivaji Chowk in Vashi on Monday.
During the demonstration, they alleged that the large projects that were planned to be set up in Maharashtra are being diverted one after the other to other States, especially Gujarat.
After moving all the big industries like Vedanta Foxconn, Marine Academy, Bulk Drug Park, and Medical Device Park out of Maharashtra to Gujarat, now the Tata Airbus project has also been shifted to Baroda.
Even when a progressive state like Maharashtra has all the conveniences of excellent infrastructure, round-the-clock electricity, abundant water and an educated youth population, projects are moving out of the state to Gujarat.
District President Namdev Bhagat alleged that the youths of the state are being starved by snatching away their rightful employment opportunity.
Youth president Kishore Angre, women president Saluja Sutar, former corporator Sandeep Sutar and a large number of NCP officials were present on this occasion.
