The Shiv Sena, which has already accused the Modi government for trying to weaken the state by shifting national offices to other states, alleged the Centre is planning to move the office of the Controller of General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks from Antop Hill to New Delhi and the National Marine Police Academy from Palghar to Dwarka in Gujarat.
At the end of the state cabinet meeting on Wednesday , Sena ministers, led by Subhash Desai, protested against the Modi government. Desai submitted a memorandum which alleged that the Modi government has again started “to put down Mumbai by trying to moving major offices from the state“.
The Centre had planned to set up a National Security Guard hub and a national marine police academy in the state and had demarcated 305 acres of land in Palghar. The government had also initiated the land ac quisition process. Desai urged the CM to stop the Centre's plan, said sources. But Fadnavis denied the allegations, sources added.
Congress supported Sena on this issue. “We will oppose if the BJP government is trying to put down Mumbai and Maharashtra by shifting important office to other states. It is a systematic move of the BJP to move offices one by one out of the state as they wanted to break Vidarbha from Maharashtra,“ claimed Amin Patel MLA and general secretary of Mumbai Congress. In November, Sena, through party mouthpiece Saamna, had opposed Modi government's move to shift WR headquarters and JNPT to Gujarat, and RBI and Air India offices to Delhi.
