Eknath Shinde govt favouring Adani in Dharavi project, says Varsha Gaikwad; cites doubling of saleable area

Speaking in the Assembly, Gaikwad, the MLA from Dharavi, said the saleable area in the project had doubled after the billionaire industrialist’s group firm got the rights to execute the project. Raising the issue under Rule 293, Gaikwad said, “Dharavi slum has an area of 160 hectares. After redevelopment the saleable area will be 10.5 crore square feet. In 2018, when Devendra Fadnavis was Maharashtra chief, the builder who carries out the redevelopment was supposed to get just 5 crore square feet.”
