What caught everyone’s attention was Fadnavis breaking his silence over the Multimodal International Hub Airport (MIHAN) issue in the house. While replying to queries, he announced that land has been given to 49 projects and around 80,000 jobs have been created by the same. Fadnavis further added that a new airport too is coming up at MIHAN.
Here are some of the major statements the deputy chief minister made in Vidhan Sabha today:
-Devendra Fadnavis took a jibe at Leader of Opposition (LoP) Ajit Pawar and said that his speeches in the House were more of NCP leader Jayant Patil’s script. (Patil was suspended by speaker Rahul Narvekar for the rest of the Assembly session for using unparliamentary remarks.)
-In another attack, he sarcastically asked Pawar to follow him on Twitter because he couldn’t ‘find the GR regarding electricity cut’ which was allegedly available on th4e deputy chief minister’s social media handle.
