The discriminatory treatment we face as a state is tremendous! The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) wasn’t even inaugurated yesterday, since the VIPs were busy elsewhere. It has been over 2 months that the MTHL has been ready and awaiting inauguration," Thackeray wrote on the microblogging site. He said, “Media had reported that the GoM said it’ll be inaugurated on 25th December.

Now it isn’t inaugurated." “Why does our state face so much discrimination?" Aaditya Thackeray asked. He said Surat Diamond Bourse was shown to the world in a hurry, but MTHL, Digha Railway Station, and Uran Line await inauguration in Maharashtra. The Uddhav-faction leader further stated there are a of the infrastructural works that this regime has nothing to do with, apart from inauguration, and yet are delaying it.

“The delay is either because they want to inaugurate closer to election dates, or the VIPs don’t have time for Maharashtra. Or maybe, push a few more crucial industries to their “favorite state" before Maharashtra can have its infrastructure used by its citizens," Thackeray said. “Whatever it is, the citizens suffer due to the absolute hatred the current regimes have for Maharashtra.
