After the controversial ‘slapgate’ fiasco, the inauguration of an airport in Maharashtra’s verdant Konkan region has become the new flashpoint between bitter adversaries, Union Minister Narayan Rane and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Last week, the Sena MP for Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg Vinayak Raut had announced that the Chipi airport in Sindhudurg district would be inaugurated on October 7 by Mr. Thackeray. However, on Tuesday, Mr. Rane, the Union Minister of Micro, Medium and Small Enterprises (MSME) announced that the airport, which is expected to propel the Konkan region in the country’s air-map, would be inaugurated by Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on October 9, kicking up another storm in the process.
