Shiv Sena’s leader (Uddhav Balasaheb Tackeray) Aditya Thakkeray (April 18, 2025) accused Mahayuti’s government of turning a blind eye to the climatic crisis and the green light projects that clay them.
In a press conference held in Mumbai, Mr. Tackeray, who previously served as the Minister of Environment of the State, said the government was “destroying Jungas and the environment” under the appearance of development, endangering the monsoon and increasing the impact of climate change.
“We are against Vinash (Destruction), no Vikas (Development). The government is not taking climate change seriously. Our commitment is the protection of forests, water and people, “he said.
Citing the recent State Meeting of the Wildlife Board chaired by the vice minister Devendra Fadnavis, the former state minister attacked the approval granted for the Gargai Dam project in Palghar, claiming that he led him to the reduction of almost five Tree Lakh.
“This is nothing more than a money game. They are playing with our future by destroying the natural ecosystems that bring rain,” he said.
Hey, also linked the extreme summer temperatures, which crossed 40 ° C of the state in April with the current climatic emergency, and accused the government led by the Bharatiya Janata party of not acting. It also blamed the administration of Mumbai’s growing water problems.
“We propose the problem and the equally heroes on the water crisis, but our party workers were arrested. The government has a plan or the will to solve the problem,” added Mr. Tackeray.
