The Congress on Saturday challenged Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis` claim that Maharashtra`s rank in foreign direct investment (FDI) fell during the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) regime, claiming that the state has constantly topped the country in FDI.

State Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant highlighted figures from the Union Ministry of Industries, stating that between 2000 and 2012, Maharashtra got about 33 per cent of all FDI in India. "From October 2019 to June 2022, Maharashtra ranked first in overall FDI even during the MVA government`s tenure," stated Sawant.
