Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis continued to escalate his verbal sparring match with critics of the contentious Mumbai-Pune Expressway’s Missing Link project, taking a more aggressive stance in the Maharashtra State Legislative Assembly.
During Friday’s session, Fadnavis hurled a barrage of insults at his detractors, employing phrases such as ‘bhatka gardabh’ or ‘wandering donkeys’ and ‘suparibaaz’ or ‘contracted hatchet men’ to describe those questioning the project’s feasibility.
These remarks drew immediate ire from the opposition benches, who saw them as an attempt to deflect criticism and divert attention from the project’s mounting controversies.
Scathing Criticism from the Opposition
The ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has been at the receiving end of scathing criticism from opposition leaders, including Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde.
The Missing Link project, aimed at connecting the Mumbai-Pune Expressway to the Mumbai-Bangalore National Highway, has been plagued by criticism over its high cost, environmental concerns, and potential impact on local communities.
Opposition leaders have raised questions about the project’s viability and the government’s decision to award the contract to a private company without a transparent bidding process.

Fadnavis Targets Raj Thackeray
Fadnavis also took a swipe at Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Raj Thackeray, who has been vocal in his opposition to the project.
Addressing Thackeray, Fadnavis said, ‘You are trying to take credit for things you didn’t do. You are like a contractor who takes credit for another person’s work.’
Thackeray, who has been a vocal critic of the project, has accused the government of ignoring the concerns of local residents and ignoring the project’s potential environmental impact.
Escalating Rhetoric
The escalating rhetoric between Fadnavis and his critics has raised concerns about the project’s future and the government’s ability to navigate the complex web of opposition.
As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen whether the government will be able to push through the project or face increasing resistance from the opposition.
