BJP trying to take away slice of Bollywood to UP Maha minister

    Aurangabad, Dec 1 (PTI) Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister Yogi Adityanath's meeting with film personalities in
Mumbai, senior Congress leader and Maharashtra PWD Minister
Ashok Chavan on Tuesday alleged the BJP was scheming to take
away a "slice of Bollywood" to the northern state.
    "When BJP was in power in Maharashtra, many industries
and offices were shifted to Gujarat. Though the government
changed in Maharashtra, the BJP is now readying a script to
take away a slice of Bollywood in the name of the Uttar
Pradesh government.
    "Whatever had happened in the tenure of the BJP, we
won't let it happen again," Chavan tweeted.
    Adityanath is arriving late this evening in Mumbai and
slated to meet industrialists and film personalities on
December 2.
    "Earlier, importance of Maharashtra was reduced
deliberately, but the then government kept quiet. BJP leaders
took a lead in getting funds for the PM Cares Fund instead of
getting funds for Chief Minister's Fund only to make their
seniors happy," Chavan said in another tweet.
    Underlining that every state has a right to develop
itself and help other states, Chavan stated no state has the
right to snatch "share of others".
    "BJP leaders must not support this step of their party
and not participate in this sin," he added.
    Adityanath in September unveiled an ambitious plan to
set up a film city in Noida and rolled out an open offer to
the film fraternity to come to the state for film-making. PTI
