Real estate is the culprit

How do you see the recent change of guard in the state?
This has not happened for the first time in Maharashtra. In the past too, many governments could not complete their full terms or the leadership changed before the tenure got over.

What is the root cause behind this?
The main culprit behind such instability is real estate. The recent change has proved this beyond all doubts. One has to understand the psychology of the Marathis who generally don’t migrate to other states. Maharashtra, being an industrial powerhouse, also attracts people from other parts. This has created a shortfall of shelters. In this situation, there are ample chances to play into the hands of the real estate lobby. The recent change of guard can be seen against this backdrop.

In the recent past, Gujarat has attracted more FDI. Comments?
Some states have attracted more FDI but neither the pace of industrialisation nor trade has slackened. The diamond market, the stock exchange, the bullion market are still in Maharashtra.

Do you see possibility of a two-party system rather than a coalition govt?
In a way, you can say that the present government is a Congress government as the NCP is an extended part of the Congress. This is the eleventh year of the Congress-NCP alliance. In other words, you can say that the NCP is a regional party which has its own base in some parts of the state.
