We Have Not Changed Stand Over the Oil Refinery Project: Shiv Sena

  • Shiv Sena leader Subhash Desai made it clear that his party has not changed its stand over the oil refinery project near Nanar village in Ratnagiri district.
  • Shiv Sena had been opposing the refinery project citing adverse environmental impact to the Konkan region.
  • However, a front-page advertisement of the RRPCL published in the Konkan edition of 'Saamana', listed the benefits of the project for the region.
  • The advertisement led to speculations that the Sena was endorsing the project.
  • When asked about it, Desai said, "We have canceled the notification for the Nanar refinery project. No other party had gone to this extent."
