BJP's Ameet Satam Defends Karjat Pumped Storage Project Amid Environmental Concerns
Mumbai BJP chief Ameet Satam defended the proposed 3,000-MW Karjat pumped storage project amid environmental concerns raised by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray. Satam emphasized the project's role in enhancing energy security and reducing emissions compared to coal-based plants, challenging opposition leaders to verify compensatory tree plantations in Beed. He criticized environmental concerns as fashionable rhetoric lacking understanding of sustainable development, highlighting India's net zero emissions target by 2070 and the need for clean energy expansion.
