Opposition parties, including Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, and MNS, protested the swift approval of key land deals worth around Rs 20,000 crore, alleging lack of debate and transparency. The opposition held parallel proceedings and threatened legal action, while the ruling camp defended the approvals as already vetted by committees.
