"I am delighted that we have a government led by Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadanavis and Ajit Pawar in Maharashtra and we have Modi government at the Centre. Both of whom were able to come to terms very quickly and we have been able to save these 37 acres because in the past Congress, governments have given away these lands for a variety of reasons which have demonstrated the total lack of commitment of the Congress and its leaders towards sports...," Piyush Goyal told the reporters during the event.
