Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has said that Maharashtra Bhawan will be built in Jammu and Kashmir with the support of the Center and no one will dare to oppose it.

Speaking at a rally in Maharashtra’s Amravati district on Wednesday, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde claimed that National Conference leader Omar Abdullah has opposed the construction of Maharashtra Bhawan in Kashmir.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said, “The state government has got land in Kashmir for the construction of Maharashtra Bhawan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are with us. So no one will dare to oppose it.”

CM Shinde had last year requested the land parcel from Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha for the construction of Maharashtra Bhawan to provide accommodation and facilities for tourists and officials of the state visiting the valley.

The Maharashtra Cabinet last month approved the proposal for construction of Maharashtra Bhawan, paving the way for the first state-run guest house to be built in the valley after the abrogation of Article 370.

Officials had earlier said that the revenue department of the Union Territory administration has identified 20 kanals (about 2.5 acres) of land in Ichgam area of ​​central Kashmir’s Budgam district, close to Srinagar airport, for the guest house.

The approval came after the Maharashtra Cabinet approved the purchase of 2.5 acres of land for the construction of the guest house.

CM Shinde also attacked the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi and said that when the Uddhav Thackeray-led government was in power in Maharashtra, many projects were stalled, which have now been restarted by the ruling government.

He also said that Union Minister Shah did not give any word to Thackeray on the power-sharing agreement in the state.

Shah and Shinde were in Amravati to campaign for BJP’s Lok Sabha election candidate Navneet Rana.
