BJP Supports Bihar Bhavan in Mumbai, MNS Opposes
The BJP supports building a Bihar Bhavan in Mumbai, which would be a facility for people from Bihar who come to Mumbai for work or medical treatment.
The BJP says it's similar to how Maharashtra has buildings in other states.
However, the MNS, led by Raj Thackeray, strongly opposes this plan.
They say Mumbai has many other problems like farmer crises, inflation, and unemployment that need attention instead.
The MNS also suggests that Bihar should build better hospitals so people don't need to travel to Mumbai for treatment.
The Bihar government has already approved the plan and allocated money for it, but the MNS says they will not allow the building to be constructed.
BJP supports the construction of Bihar Bhavan in Mumbai as a facility for Bihar citizens.
MNS opposes the project, citing Mumbai's existing problems and suggesting Bihar should improve its own healthcare.
The proposed Bihar Bhavan will be a 30-storey building costing Rs 314.20 crore.
Bihar government has granted administrative approval for the project.
MNS leader Raj Thackeray has vowed to prevent the construction of Bihar Bhavan.
