Raj Thackeray Calls for Government Action on Pune Development and Governance Issues
29/July/2024
In Maharashtra, Raj Thackeray, the Chief of Navnirman Sena (MNS), is currently in Pune for an inspection following the recent heavy rains that caused flooding in the city. Thackeray has expressed dissatisfaction with the government and administration, questioning their efficiency. He voiced his concerns to the media, asking, “Is this how the government operates?”
Raj Thackeray commented, “Pune is no longer one city; it has become four cities. With the absence of corporators, there is no one to take responsibility. You provide ‘free’ housing to people from other states while those from here are left to ‘beg’. As a state, are you focused or not?”
Thackeray further stated, “There will be a meeting about this in Mumbai, and I will speak to you again afterwards. However, it is shameful that in a city like Pune, people have to be called from Panvel and Thane for cleaning. Suspending officers will not resolve the issue.”
Thackeray went on to say, “The Maharashtra State Government, Chief Minister, and Deputy Chief Ministers need to focus on this issue. Ex-corporators should also pay careful attention. Why isn’t everyone considered when planning any project? Why not consult with people and journalists? This issue can be resolved if all political parties set aside their differences and work together. This is not the task of any single party.”
Raj Thackeray took a sarcastic jab at Deputy Chief Minister and Guardian Minister of Pune District Ajit Pawar, mentioning, “There are two Deputy Chief Ministers in Maharashtra. One is actually from Pune. Even though he was not here, the dams have ‘overflowed. Shouldn’t he be paying attention to this?”
Raj Thackeray criticized the lack of town planning and unauthorized constructions in riverbeds as the reasons for the flood situation in Pune. He emphasized the importance of government intervention and proper planning to prevent such incidents. Thackeray highlighted the issue of uncontrolled development and the need for effective town planning to avoid similar problems in the future.
“Sharad Pawar Shouldn’t Contribute Towards…” is the continuation of the statement you provided. If you have more details or specific information related to this statement, feel free to share them for further discussion.
Raj Thackeray further mentioned, “In Pune, there was a Porsche car accident in which two people died, but nobody is discussing it. News coverage focuses on certain individuals, not on the two who died.” When asked about Sharad Pawar’s statement suggesting that Maharashtra could become like Manipur, Thackeray remarked, “I didn’t hear his statement, but Pawar Saheb shouldn’t contribute to it.”
