Farmer leader Raju Shetti has challenged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to a public debate regarding the proposed Rs 86,300 crore Nagpur-Goa Shaktipeeth Expressway. Shetti questions the necessity of the parallel route, citing the existing Nagpur-Ratnagiri state highway, and alleges that supporters of the project are being sent with a uniform script. He stated he is not against development but seeks clarification on the project's rationale and cost.
