Mumbai, 2/4:Ahead of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray inaugurating two new metro rail lines in Mumbai, the opposition BJP on Saturday said the Shiv Sena was taking credit for the work done under the previous Devendra Fadnavis dispensation.
The state unit of the BJP tweeted that these metro lines as well as several other ones were cleared and construction started under the Fadnavis government between 2014 and 2019.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi, the ruling alliance led by the Sena, has a simple policy, which is to oppose metro lines while they are being planned and built and then take credit by inaugurating them when they are completed, the state unit of the BJP said. It added that work on some lines had not even started after the MVA government took over in late 2019, and Line 3 had got stalled as the Sena insists on having the carshed at a plot in Kanjurmarg, which is stuck in a legal battle, instead of Aarey Colony that experts had suggested during feasibility studies.
