Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Aaditya Thackeray has claimed that a builder close to the state government is forcing the management of Mahalaxmi Racecourse to let him develop part of its land. On the other hand, a proposal by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) asking for the state-owned racecourse land to develop a theme park has been pending with the government for 10 years.
Aaditya claimed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that a builder close to the current state government threatened the management of Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with him and allow him to develop a hotel and commercial space on the racecourse land.
