Villagers leaving Maha is govt’s failure: Pawar

Mumbai: The winter session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly is starting from Monday, December 19 in Nagpur. However, prior to this, on Sunday, the ruling party invited the opposition for a tea ceremony, but instead of following the tradition, the opposition boycotted it. In this regard, Leader of Opposition Ajit Pawar held a press conference and raised many issues in the press conference.

“In a state like Maharashtra, great men are being insulted. Maharashtra will not tolerate this. Governor Koshyari’s statement regarding Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is objectionable. After him, BJP leaders are also giving similar statements. We oppose it,” Pawar said.

He said that Karnataka border issue has been pending for many years. “But when present government came, instead of getting rid of it; it flared up further. The Chief Minister of Karnataka started claiming the villages of Maharashtra. Earlier no one dared to do this, but now all this is happening. Some villages have started taking the attitude that if we do not develop, we will go to other states, this is the failure of the Shinde-Fadnavis government,” he said.

On Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis claim that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will present a proposal on border issues, Ajit Pawar said, “If there is a resolution on border issue, we will support that resolution.”
