Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad has accused the Maharashtra government of giving the project to Industrialist Gautam Adani to benefit him. Speaking at the India Today Conclave, Gaikwad expressed concerns over how the Adani Group secured the contract and its financial ability to complete the project.
The redevelopment of Dharavi, Asia's largest slum, has been a long-standing issue. The state government first proposed an action plan in 2004, but it has faced numerous hurdles over the years. Despite the efforts of the government, the project has failed to take off, leaving the residents of Dharavi in a state of uncertainty.
The Adani Group's win has raised concerns over whether the initiative is a resettlement effort or a real estate venture. The project involves redeveloping a large tract of land in central Mumbai, which has raised concerns over the displacement of residents and the impact on the local community.
The Maharashtra government has maintained that the project will provide better living conditions for the residents of Dharavi, but critics argue that it is a move to benefit the Adani Group. The project's fate remains uncertain, with many questioning the government's decision to award the contract to the Adani Group.
