Leading the discussion was Vijay Darda, Chairman of Lokmat Group's editorial board, and Atul Kulkarni, Editor, engaging in an in-depth conversation with BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Responding to queries about Gujarat's preference over Maharashtra in the industrial sector, Fadnavis dispelled any doubts, affirming Maharashtra's supremacy. He emphasized that Maharashtra, with its robust industrial base, skilled workforce, and conducive business environment, is committed to fostering a thriving industrial landscape.
