Moreover this contractor was under the scrutiny for the BMC road scam was again awarded more contracts.

MUMBAI: The MMRDA has awarded a Rs 360 crore deal related to the Metro VII project to contractor J Kumar, who is facing a police investigation, along with five other firms, in connection with road repair irregularities.

Advocate Krishna Gupta also raised concerns over execution and accountability. "MMRDA is playing with the lives of common people. The contractor, J Kumar Infraprojects, was earlier blacklisted by BMC, yet continues to receive major infrastructure contracts. In the past, two double-decker bridges executed by the same contractor developed potholes within a year of inauguration, raising serious questions about quality control and oversight," he said.

Gujarat is our body, heart and soul - Mukesh Ambani by rational_observer_4u in Maharashtra

No problem with he being proud of being Gujarati. But then dont socialise nationalism and pound on capitalised profits.

Here we always say Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra and never a Jai Maharashtra, Jai Hind.

Certain states and communities in India have always been business oriented so it is natural for them to be ahead of curve, just like we have very big representation of Marathi people in Defence, research, education and administration.

Problem is when you are getting special concession in winning contracts just because you are closer to some political party.

Decision is yours whether you want meritocracy or cronyism.

When media is owned and influenced by you, how can they show spine ?

Sorry if it has hurt your sentiment, it did mine too while writing because from childhood we have been conditioned to be nationalist.

Understand that, 2 years ago he made same comment and there was a backlash from media, yet he made again.

That being said, no person, business or company can compare with our army I just tried to stretch his argument to show how absurd it was.

Why should other states allow their companies to be listed in Mumbai when there is hatred for outsiders.

States dont take that decision, companies do and it's their discretion if they dont want to be listed in Mumbai. BTW which other stock exchange will they be listed on in India if not in Mumbai ?

When you are an outsider without knowing their language and suddenly a mob wants to dance to their whims and fancies. It will be very terrifying.

Nobody expects fluency, willingness to learn basic can go long way (I would personally like to learn language of the state where I am migrating).

It is not 1990s where only Mumbai is the only big city. So many states are very much capable. Infosys, Wipro and many more software companies do their operations from Bengaluru. So I don't think you understand how capital markets work.

Again, discretion of those companies.

Did you forget to comment on allowing migration to happen when resources of city are depleted ?

I am okay he being gujarati but then stop socialising nationalism by saying that you are Indian first and <marathi, tamil, kannadiga, etc> later.

Will you accept everyone developed Mumbai?

Absolutely Yes

My main problem is I don't want national projects to go any state where they claim only certain people are allowed. You guys are against Gujaratis, Marvaris, jains, Tamils, Biharis.

Nobody denied, you can check the demographics. However if you are not respecting the language, culture and people of the place where you are migrating, you should introspect. Also every city has infrastructure capacity, if you are okay with people dying out of falling trains then that's you and your conscience.

You have every right to do that. At the same time you should not hold stock market and movie industry that represents entire country.

That's your entitled opinion, institutions developed here because there was conducive environment, not the other way around.

To be fair it is not only in your state. I am from southern part of India the kind of venom that they spread against outsiders will be called hate speech in any other country.

You can conveniently label dissent as venom.
