Dharavi Redevelopment Firm Slams Aditya Thackeray's "Favouritism" Claim

The Dharavi Redevelopment Project Pvt. Ltd., a joint venture between the Government of Maharashtra and the Adani Group, has issued a statement, refuting allegations levelled by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray.
 
The project authorities said, " We would like to reiterate our commitment to turn Dharavi into a model of urban rejuvenation. All Dharavikars, whether eligible or not, will get new homes. They will be provided with key-to-key solution, and will move into new homes directly instead of being housed in transit camps."
 
Contrary to allegations of favouritism, the selection was based entirely on merit, with the Adani Group submitting the highest bid in a tender that was open to national and international participants. The tender's terms and conditions were finalised during the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi government, in which Aditya Thackeray was a Cabinet Minister.
