The Maharashtra government will extend full support if the Union Minister of State for Railways Raosaheb Danve took the initiative for launching the Mumbai-Nagpur bullet train project, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said.

He was speaking after performing the ground-breaking ceremony for the planned new building of the Aurangabad zilla parishad. Danve, a BJP leader from Maharashtra, was also present. "We are talking about the welfare of people by keeping politics aside today, and people also expect the same. We have expectations from each other," the chief minister said.
