Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar on Wednesday demanded a probe by a retired judge to assess the exact measures undertaken by the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to retain the Vedanta-Foxconn project, a day after the joint entity signed a deal with the Gujarat government for setting up the mega semi-conductor plant.

MVA members Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and Congress have severely criticised the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government over the project, which was earlier proposed in Maharashtra, going to Gujarat.
