Overview
- Raj Thackeray clarified he opposes what he calls a growing Adani monopoly rather than development, escalating his campaign message two days before the BMC polls.
- He shared a video mapping projects and land parcels linked to the Adani Group from 2014 to 2025 across sectors such as power, ports, airports, logistics and infrastructure.
- He questioned how the conglomerate financed its rapid expansion, asking which banks or institutions backed it and cautioning that deeper consolidation could endanger jobs.
- He cited airports and ports transferred to Adani and pointed to the recent IndiGo disruption as an example of risks, while noting Navi Mumbai airport as an exception on development.
- BJP leaders, including Devendra Fadnavis, pushed back by labeling opponents anti-development and defending Adani-linked investments as job-creating, as party figures resurfaced photos to challenge Thackeray’s stance.
