Maharashtra
Chief Minister Uddhav
Thackeray said he has ordered a review of all on-going
development projects in the state, including the Mumbai- Ahmedabad bullet
train.
The bullet train project has faced stiff opposition
from farmers and tribals whose lands are to be acquired.
"This government is of the common man. Like you asked now,
yes, we will review the bullet train (project). Have I stayed the bullet train
project like Aarey car shed? No, I haven't," he told reporters here late
Sunday night.
The state government will also come out with a white paper on
the financial condition of the state, Thackeray said.
He said the state government, which has a debt of nearly ₹five
lakh crore, is firm on giving unconditional loan waivers to farmers.
The
announcements came a day after the Thackeray-led
Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government forged by the Shiv
Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress more than a month after the
election results were out won the trust vote in the state Assembly with the
support of 169 legislators in the 288-member House.
The priorities of the previous BJP-led government in the state -
in which his party was a constituent - were not "misplaced", he said
and added that there would be no vendetta politics.
