05:15ispar bhi,
05:15hum loog,
05:15kaafi dinohse work kar raha hai,
05:16toh,
05:17two things arise from what you are saying,
05:20yeah,
05:20yeah,
05:20you know,
05:21one,
05:22number one,
05:23there has been a sense in Maharashtra ki,
05:25Mumbai develops,
05:26or there is the golden triangle,
05:27Mumbai,
05:28Nashik,
05:28Pune,
05:29what of parts outside this triangle,
05:31you yourself come from Vidarbha,
05:33and there has always been a sense that some parts have lost out,
05:36regional development has been imbalanced,
05:38how do you do that,
05:39I thought it interesting,
05:40Gatchiroli you have taken up as guardian minister,
05:43and made a steel city,
05:44how do you take your say innovation idea,
05:47or create clusters in different districts of Maharashtra,
05:50or is the focus still only on Mumbai,
05:52let me finish my first take,
05:56so this new city we launched,
05:58it's a ragged pain smart city,
06:03in Konkara,
06:03so it's near our new Mumbai airport,
06:06and here also,
06:08day before yesterday,
06:10we entered into MOU from various companies,
06:14from USA,
06:14from Australia,
06:16from UAE,
06:17from Netherlands,
06:20and from Singapore,
06:21and these companies are investing around 1 lakh crore,
06:25in this city,
06:28so what we are essentially doing is,
06:30I would like to answer to your question,
06:34this plug and play innovation city,
06:37which we are creating,
06:38is a sort of template,
06:41so this can be replicated elsewhere,
06:43or you can connect other cities,
06:46to this city as well,
06:47now I must answer your question,
06:50so there was a time,
06:51when only Mumbai,
06:54Pune and MMR region,
06:55was our magnet,
06:57but we started decentralizing our magnet,
06:59so today,
07:01our EV capital,
07:02is not anymore Pune,
07:04our EV capital,
07:05is Chhatrabadi Sammhaji Nagar,
07:07so all who's who from EV,
07:09have already invested,
07:10and the biggest investor,
07:11is Toyota,
07:11before I end Mr. Chief,
07:13this is the tussle,
07:14between so-called tussle,
07:16between you and your allies,
07:18who will become mayor,
07:19will it be two and a half years,
07:20each in BMC,
07:22will it be a BJP mayor,
07:24can we say that with conviction,
07:26and will it be two and a half years,
07:27two and a half years,
07:28is there a tussle for this mayor's post,
07:29I will tell you,
07:30I am not in Mumbai,
07:33this is why the news is going on,
07:35I will reach Mumbai,
07:36and I will sit with Shindayji,
07:38and I will sit with somebody,
07:39and all the news will be closed,
07:42and we will ensuring,
07:42the formula that we have,
07:43will correct us,
07:44and we will correct us,
07:46and inform you to tell us,
07:47and then,
07:48there will not be a noise,
07:50that we have nothing to do,
07:52both sides will remain.
07:53First, BJP mayor of Mumbai,
07:55can we say that?
07:56There is something that has been
07:56done with this,
07:57and until we meet both,
07:59we don't have any other things,
08:00I will not do any announcements,
08:01I will not do any announcements,
08:02but we will do any other things.
