The row between the BJP and Shiv Sena over the Rs 3 lakh crore oil refinery to be built in Nanar seems to be far from over. In a veiled attack on Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, senior Shiv Sena leader Subhash Desai on Friday reiterated that the Nanar oil refinery will not be built in Konkan at any cost.
Fadnavis had, during his recent state-wide yatra, said he will revive the project if the locals wanted it. The project was shelved last year, with the Sena lending its support to those opposing the project. However, after the BJP's landslide victory in the general election, and Nitesh Rane joining BJP, the demand for reviving the scrapped project is gaining momentum, despite Sena's opposition for the same.
