Samant additionally stated that it was after the government change in Maharashtra that industrialists showed confidence in the administration. 

Samant told PTI, "Over the past three years, Karnataka and Gujarat have claimed the leading positions within the industrial landscape. However, following the change in government within the state, industrialists gained confidence in this administration's unwavering support.
