The Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), led by Sharad Pawar, have taken swipes at the Maharashtra government following Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel's visit to Mumbai for an investor roadshow ahead of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit. The relocation of major industrial projects from Maharashtra to Gujarat was a contentious issue last year. 

Aaditya Thackeray questioned why Patel did not just contact the "unconstitutional" chief minister of Maharashtra and ask them to transfer more industries from Maharashtra to Gujarat. According to Thackeray, the Eknath Shinde-led state government had already shifted projects, including Vedanta-Foxconn, Airbus-Tata, and Bulk Drugs Park, from Maharashtra to Gujarat. Thackeray criticized Shinde for only visiting Delhi for personal reasons and accused him of lavish spending on his trip to Davos.
