Don't let politics come in way of development: Raj Thackeray

February 15, 2013 21:58

Targeting the Shiv Sena over its opposition to the Jaitapur nuclear power project in Ratnagiri district, MNS president Raj Thackeray today asked the people of Konkan not to encourage petty politics obstructing the progress and development.

Addressing a rally at Khed town in the coastal district, Raj said, "If the project is bad, it should be thrown out. But do not derail a project if there is opposition for the sake of opposition. Attempts are being made to instill fear in you so that you oppose the project."

Local groups are opposed to the Jaitapur Project and the Shiv Sena has sided with them.
