Uddhav Thackeray
Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said that American President Donald Trump's visit will not make India a superpower and the country needs human resources along with capital investment.
"US President Donald Trump is coming to India in a few days, but how is that going to make us a superpower? Along with the capital investment, we need human resources as well," Thackeray said at a book launch event in Mumbai on Saturday.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad and renowned lyricist Javed Akhtar also attended the event. Thackeray also took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, without mentioning his name, during the course of his speech by using the context of the book, which is a collection of letters written by former Maharashtra Chief Minister late Abdul Rahman Antulay to his wife.
"The letters are written from the heart and there is a lot of difference between 'Mann Ki Baat' and 'Dil ki baat' which come straight from the heart," Uddhav said.
