While praising the Maharashtra government's approach towards a cleaner and greener economy, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar will become the country's Electric Vehicle (EV) capital, as it is a favourite investment destination.
Devendra Fadnavis, while speaking at the Marathwada Mukti Sangram memorial at Siddharth Garden in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, addressed the potential of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
September 17 marks the anniversary of Marathwada's integration with India and the annexation of Hyderabad State, which was under the Nizam rule, into the Union of India.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, along with other public representatives, unfurled the national flag on the occasion of the Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din at the memorial. He also paid tribute to those who laid down their lives in the freedom struggle against the Nizam rule.
On the region's industrial development, Fadnavis emphasised that he had earlier mentioned that Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna and the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor will be the next industrial magnet of Maharashtra.
Chief Minister Fadnavis asserted, "Today it is coming true. Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar can be called a favourite investment destination. The investment by Hyundai shows that companies are preferring cities like Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar will be the country's EV capital now," as cited by news agency PTI.
While addressing the Latur coach factory, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the factory will start soon and will employ around 14,000 people.
"We are also going to fulfil the dream of railway connectivity from Beed to Ahilyanagar. The railway line between the two stations will be inaugurated today," the Chief Minister added, reported PTI.
While addressing the development of the state, the CM further asserted that the state government will keep working for the development of Marathwada.
He noted, "This day is not just a day of independence for Marathwada but also a day for 'unified India'. We are making efforts for the Marathwada region's development. Heavy rainfall took place in Marathwada (recently), leading to the death of some of our brothers and sisters," as cited by news agency PTI.
While highlighting the importance of the Marathwada region in the state, the CM said, "Marathwada is a drought-prone region. But our government has decided to make the drought our past. We have brought water from the Krishna River valley in Marathwada. In the second phase, excess water in Sangli and Kolhapur will be brought here along with 54 TMC of water from the Ulhas river valley, as per PTI.
