Chandrashekhar Bawankule, who was on a tour of Sangli district where he met party office-bearers and local leaders, was speaking to reporters.
Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Maharashtra unit president Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Sunday took a dig at former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, saying that if the MLAs of his own party can abandon him, then why industrial projects cannot move out of the state.
Chandrashekhar Bawankule, who was on a tour of Sangli district where he met party office-bearers and local leaders, was speaking to reporters.
His remarks come in the wake of the Eknath Shinde-led state government coming under the Opposition's fire for losing big-ticket projects to BJP-ruled Gujarat, including Rs 1.5 lakh crore Foxconn-Vedanta semiconductor manufacturing project and Rs 22,000 crore aircraft manufacturing project where the Tata Group has tied up with Airbus.
Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, in which the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress shared power with the Shiv Sena, collapsed on June 29 following an intra-party revolt by Eknath Shinde and 39 other MLAs of the Sena.
