Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray said on Monday that the way Dharavi is being redeveloped is bad for Mumbai and Maharashtra and slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party for calling Saturday`s protest march by his party against the project as a "settlement morcha" (agitation to extort money).

The Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) and other opposition parties like the Congress and the NCP have alleged the Maharashtra government is bestowing favours on the Adani Group, which was chosen through a tender to undertake the ambitious project.
