“Some people are coming today looking for investment,” Maharashtra’s chief minister said today.
Mumbai / Lucknow:
Uttar Pradesh’s CM Yogi Adityanath will spend a day in Mumbai on Wednesday and is likely to meet with Bollywood industrialists and personalities seeking investments in his state, a move that may not have gone down very well with his Maharashtra counterpart Uddhav. Thackeray.
Adityanath, who will be arriving in town late at night, is likely to ring the bell for the Lucknow Municipal Corporation bond listing on BSE on Wednesday. Later he will meet with business leaders to encourage them to be part of the “Make in Uttar Pradesh” campaign.
A note from the UP Commissioner for Infrastructure and Industrial Development has said that the Chief Minister will also meet with business leaders from the city’s UP Development Forum. The BJP government in Uttar Pradesh has been pushing for more investment in the state’s micro, small and medium-sized enterprise sector.
Adityanath had previously spoken about his plans to build a film industry larger than Bollywood in Uttar Pradesh. In this context, it may be interesting to meet eminent personalities from the city’s cinema.
In this context, a spokesperson for the Congress party, part of the ruling coalition in Maharashtra, had alleged a conspiracy to remove Bollywood from Mumbai, according to a report by PTI.
Referring obliquely to Adityanath’s visit, Maharashtra’s chief minister Uddhav Thackeray issued a sharp note today, saying that no one will be allowed to “forcibly” remove businesses from his state.
“We are not jealous if someone progresses, we have no problem with someone progressing if one competes. But if you are going to take something by force, then of course I will not let it happen and you (industrialists) will.” Not being willing to go, “Thackeray said at an event organized by IMC, a lobby group focused on small businesses, according to PTI.
“Some people are coming today, they will also meet with all of you and ask you to come (for investments). But they do not know the magnetic force (of Maharashtra), it is so powerful that they forget about the people who go here and there, No It should happen that someone from there comes here, ”he said.
The Maharashtra prime minister had previously warned against attempts to smear or wipe out the Mumbai film industry.
