The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeAccording to The Indian Express, in the video, which Deora posted on Twitter with the hashtag #MumbaiKaConnection, Ambani says: “Having represented South Mumbai for 10 years, I believe that Milind has in-depth knowledge of social, economic, and cultural ecosystem of the South Mumbai constituency. Both micro-enterprises and large businesses can thrive in Mumbai so that attractive, new employment opportunities can be created for our talented young women and men.”
Apart from Ambani, Kotak Mahindra Group’s chairman Uday Kotak and Krish Ramnani of Togglehead Private Ltd were among the “prominent personalities” who featured in the 2.17-minute video.
