Aditya Thackeray Criticizes C-295 Aircraft Landing at Navi Mumbai Airport
In Mumbai, Maharashtra, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray criticized the landing of the Indian Air Force C-295 aircraft at Navi Mumbai International Airport, calling it “stuntbaazi.” He suggested that if the runway was ready, the entire airport should have been inaugurated instead of using the event for political gain before elections.
Thackeray also criticized Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, urging him to present himself with his own image rather than relying on the legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray. He accused Shinde of behaving like a “third copy” and challenged him to face the public without using Shiv Sena’s symbols.
The inaugural landing of the C-295 aircraft was attended by CM Eknath Shinde, who stated that the Navi Mumbai Airport would be a significant development for the region. He announced that the airport would be named Lokneta DB Patil Navi Mumbai International Airport and is expected to be completed by March 2025, with commercial operations starting then.
Shinde emphasized the government’s commitment to rapid progress, citing the Ladli Behan Yojana as an example of their efficiency.
