MUMBAI, 
MAHARASHTRA Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday said he has approved of his Assam counterpart Himanta Biswa Sarma’s request for the construction of an Assam Bhawan in Navi Mumbai. Similarly, a Maharashtra Bhawan will come up in Assam, Shinde said after a meeting with Sarma in Guwahati.
However, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut said the Assam Bhawan already exists in Navi Mumbai and while every State wants a land here, Maharashtra does not have a place in other states. The meeting between the Maharashtra CM and Sarma took place on Sunday in the same hotel in Guwahati where Shinde and other rebel MLAs from the Shiv Sena stayed for 11 days before toppling the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA Government in Maharashtra.
A statement from Shinde’s office said the two leaders discussed strengthening mutual cooperation between the two states in the field of industries, trade and tourism. Shinde, his ministers and MPs along with their families visited Kamakhya Devi temple on Saturday and later attended a get-together with Sarma.
The statement said Shinde thanked Sarma for his support during the power struggle in Maharashtra. Shinde also invited Sarma to Maharashtra.
The statement said Shinde approved of Sarma’s request for the construction of the Assam Bhawan in Navi Mumbai, while the Assam government will provide land to set up the Maharashtra Bhawan in the north-eastern State.
