The Dharavi Redevelopment Project Pvt, a joint venture of the Maharashtra government and the Adani Group, is the biggest of its kind in Asia, said Eknath Shinde.
A steel project in Gadchiroli, infamous for its Maoist footprint, the Dharavi Redevelopment Project, Atal Setu are some of the infrastructure projects that Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shine spotlighted on Monday to underscore his government's focus on development.
Mr Shinde - speaking at the launch of NDTV's new regional channel, NDTV Marathi - said the state government is reaping the benefits of double-engine government (BJP at the centre and in alliance in state).
"If we look at Maharashtra in two years, Atal Setu is a game-changer project. Mumbai Coastal Road has also been started from one side. We gave momentum to many projects," said Mr Shinde.
The BJP, Vishnu Deo Sai said, has shown huge respect to Ambedkar, no matter who headed the government -- Atal Bihari Vajpayee or Narendra Modi.
