Ahead of Modi’s visit, Uddhav Thackeray takes aim at Prime Minsiter

Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s whirlwind tours across the globe. “If you missed noticing the project in the country, we had invited bids from international contractors. I’m sure you would not have missed it while touring these countries,” he said.
The Sena president was speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony for the Coastal Road project at the Amarsons Garden in Breach Candy. The ceremony came abruptly and over a month after the civic body began preliminary work for the Rs 12,000-crore project. Mayor Vishwanath Mahadeshwar had written to the civic chief asking that the ceremony be organised on Sunday. The event came ahead of Modi’s visit to the city on Tuesday, where he will preside over similar ground-breaking ceremonies for various infrastructure projects.
