Just one and a half months after the Rs 1.5-lakh-crore Vedanta-Foxconn project went to Gujarat, the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government in Maharashtra came under fresh attack from the opposition on Thursday as Gujarat lapped up the Rs 22,000-crore Tata-Airbus project for manufacture of 56 military transport aircraft that will replace Indian Air Force’s aging Avro fleet. While the project, which promises thousands of jobs, comes as a boost for Gujarat ahead of the assembly polls there, for the four-month-old Balasahebanchi Sena-BJP government in Maharashtra, it is yet another blow, that too after industries minister Uday Samant of the Shinde Sena said on September 15 that though the state had lost the Vedanta project, it would secure the Tata-Airbus project to produce military aircraft in Nagpur.
