The political row over Shinde-led Maharashtra government losing the mega semiconductor plant deal escalated on Thursday with workers of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), the main opposition outfit in the state, being taken in custody by the Mumbai Police while they were on their way to the Mantralaya to protest in the matter.
Indian conglomerate Vedanta and Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn jointly inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Gujarat government on Tuesday in Gandhinagar to set up a mega semiconductor and display manufacturing unit in Gujarat, that the opposition in Maharashtra claims is a "morsel" snatched from state's mouth.
The opposition in Maharashtra slammed the Eknath Shinde-led government for the state "losing" out on the Rs 1,54,000-crore venture with the Congress alleging something "sinister" behind the change of location and the NCP saying the plant was "snatched" away.
