Raj Thackeray attacks Adani as Fadnavis defends him while BJP points at Old Raj-Adani Photograph

Mumbai, Jan 13 (UNI) Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray attacked industrialist Gautam Adani again on Tuesday, while speaking to media persons at his 'Shivtirth' residence in Dadar West.
"Adani purchased ports and other assets from others at gunpoint. In a business like cement where Gautam Adani was never present, he is now number two. Birla is number one. Adani is next. He has bought up Ultratech and Ambuja as well as a few other companies and has reached number two position. In the last 10 years, this person has gone from zero to number two. He has reached number two by taking over other people's businesses. Many industries like power and steel are also in the same position," the MNS founder said.
"I want to tell the Chief Minister that this issue is not about whose business grew, but about how that growth took place. It is necessary to understand how only one industrialist is growing. It is necessary for the people to understand this growth," Raj Thackeray said.
