Shiv Sena slams BJP over its ‘business to West Bengal’ comment

MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena on Thursday hit out at the BJP over its comment that the Sena was facilitating migration of businesses from Maharashtra to West Bengal.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said the BJP’s love for Mumbai was “fake” and it stayed mum when the International Financial Centre (IFC) was moved from Mumbai to Gujarat.

Responding to West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s statement that there was no UPA, Raut said there was no NDA either.

Raut said while he didn’t know if Congress MP Rahul Gandhi was abroad or not, he said it was due to Covid-19 that the foreign trips of Prime Minister Narendra Modi had stopped.

Raut also took a dig at the BJP over the visit of Gujarat chief minister Bhupendra Patel to Mumbai to promote the Vibrant Gujarat summit.

Raut tweeted: “When West Bengal CM met industrialists in Mumbai, BJP’s stomach got upset and alleged that she is here to rob industries from Maharashtra. Today, Gujarat CM is meeting the industrialists with half of his cabinet and organising a roadshow in Mumbai. Vibrant Gujarat by scraping Mumbai?”
