Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena leader and former MP Rahul Shewale, on Sunday, alleged that “Dalit hatred” and “hatred of hardworking workers” were the root causes behind the opposition of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) to the Dharavi redevelopment project for the past several years.

“Do they want the people of Dharavi to stay in shambles and slums forever? Why are there no marches for other redevelopment projects that have been pending in Mumbai for years?” Shewale asked, speaking at a press conference held at Balasaheb Thackeray Bhavan at Nariman Point.
