In a recent interview with Uddhav Thackeray, Raj Thackeray expressed alarm over a perceived scheme to diminish Mumbai’s prosperity and land. He highlighted a shift in motives, suggesting a current agenda to physically divide the city, unlike past conflicts centered on its wealth. Raj Thackeray questioned the rationale behind infrastructure projects in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, pointing out plans for airports near the Gujarat border.
He accused the government of orchestrating projects that could lead to the relocation of key operations from Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, paving the way for commercial exploitation of prime Mumbai land. Raj Thackeray claimed that the ultimate goal is to redirect Mumbai’s wealth to a specific group and eventually to Gujarat. He characterized these actions as a strategic disassembly of Mumbai’s assets, benefiting a select few developers and business entities.
Thackeray warned of the potential consequences, emphasizing the need to safeguard Mumbai’s autonomy and interests amidst what he perceives as a significant threat to the city’s future.
