Summary:

After BJP promised shifting of the Nanar refinery project to Shiv Sena in return of a pre-poll alliance, uncertainty looms large over the future of the project. Although chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has hinted relocation of the Rs 3 lakh crore refinery project to pacify Sena, he has not specified the alternative sites. The refinery project will spur growth and create more jobs in Konkan. Villagers under the aegis of Konkan Refinery Prakalp Virodhi Sangharsh Sanghatana met Uddhav Thackeray. Thackeray has asked state environment minister Ramdas Kadam to take up the proposal for the approval of cabinet at its meeting on Wednesday,'' said Satyajit Chavan, member of the opposing villagers group..
