He dismissed the criticism as a coordinated effort to undermine Maharashtra’s success, labeling it a “pre-planned toolkit.” Fadnavis highlighted a specific pattern of messages on social platforms, attributing them to individuals unhappy with the state’s progress.
Fadnavis defended the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Lodha Group, emphasizing its global significance. He clarified that the deal involves major companies investing in data centers, not personal estates. The Chief Minister criticized the uniformity of negative messages online, indicating a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.
In response to critics, Fadnavis addressed the paid toolkit campaigns on social media, vowing to expose those behind them. He contrasted the current administration’s achievements with past years, noting a significant increase in investment agreements. Fadnavis underscored the strategic importance of signing MoUs at the World Economic Forum, positioning Maharashtra as a prime investment destination.
Defending the decision to ink international deals at Davos, Fadnavis highlighted the platform’s global reach. He stressed the high foreign investment in the data center agreement, positioning Mumbai as a leading hub. The Chief Minister also responded to opposition criticism over MoUs signed with Mumbai-based companies during the WEF summit.
