A European misleading locals against Jaitapur nuclear plant: Prithviraj Chavan

Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan on Sunday said "a European man" was involved in a false propaganda against the upcoming Jaitapur nuclear power project in the coastal Ratnagiri district.

"Some European man was showing a video film to the locals, so that they oppose this prestigious nuclear power project," Chavan told reporters here.

Chavan, who had visited Jaitapur yesterday to meet the local people who are opposed to the project, said here that the government was pursuing development and he put this point across to the local people.
