Maharashtra government in a spot with Vedanta-Foxconn’s Gujarat move

The fate of the beleaguered opposition – the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress – in Maharashtra has suddenly altered.

A huge political controversy in the wake of the Rs 1.54 lakh crore Vedanta-Foxconn semiconductor project being shifted to Gujarat at the last minute has changed the political discourse. It is helping the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) constituents to give the BJP and the splinter Sena group led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde a run for their money.

The migration of the ambitious mega project to the home turf of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah has shocked Maharashtra.
