Only one state will benefit… What objection does Congress have on the inauguration of C-295 aircraft manufacturing unit?

New Delhi: Congress on Monday targeted the grand alliance government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde. Congress alleges that Maharashtra’s interests have been betrayed by shifting the Tata-Airbus C-295 aircraft manufacturing unit to Vadodara in Gujarat.

However, a new Bharat Diamond Bourse was created in Surat. It’s another matter that the move fails completely. Along with the Tata-Airbus manufacturing unit, the Vedanta-Foxconn semiconductor chip factory was also shifted from Maharashtra to Gujarat, he/she said. he/she said the Textile Commissioner’s office, which was located in Mumbai for 80 years, was suddenly transferred to Delhi last year without any apparent reason.
