No BJP leader or minister attended the 'bhumi-pujan' or ground-breaking ceremony performed by Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray for the Rs 12,000-crore coastal road project in Mumbai Sunday.
A BJP leader claimed that there was no invitation to even Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for the function organised by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
The Sena rules in the city civic body.
"As even the CM was not invited, Mumbai BJP leaders decided not to attend the function," the leader said.
Speaking on the occasion, Thackeray said, "This project is a dream of every Mumbai resident. I thank the state and central governments for issuing all necessary permissions for the project."
