Pune :
In the background of the upcoming budget presentation of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar had come to Pune today. At this time, he answered various questions asked by media representatives.
Regarding the upcoming budget of the PMC, Ajit Pawar said that on the upcoming March 3, supplementary demands will be accepted. “We will present the budget and try to do justice to all the constituents of the society,” said Pawar. He also informed that the government is implementing a special campaign for health check-ups of children in the state, and the government is constantly making efforts to ensure the good health of children.
At this time, few media reporters asked him about his response to Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s statement on making the Pune district saffron, hinting at a possible party’s expansion in Pune. At this time, Ajit Pawar swiftly dismissed speculations of a rift between the parties of the Mahayuti government and said that every party has the right to increase its influence. He said, “No matter how many questions you ask, we have decided to stay together. Everyone has the right to grow their party. The Shinde group wants to saffronize Pune district, and each party can make different claims for its district.”
Reacting to the canal committee meeting and the home minister’s statement, Ajit Pawar further said, “Water planning is done every year in summer. There is nothing special in this. It is a matter of administrative planning.” He also smartly avoided commenting on the deteriorating law and order situation in Pune city. He said, “I am not talking about any specific case. But if there is a complaint, the police will take immediate action. The media sometimes is in a hurry, but it is everyone’s duty to maintain law and order.”
A few days ago, activists of Vasant More vandalised a security office at the Swargate bus stop where a woman was allegedly raped inside an MSRTC bus. On this, Ajit Pawar said that it is not right to vandalise public institutions just because the accused has not been found. The court has clearly stated that the damages should be recovered from those who damage public property.”
On the question of the cancellation of former minister Tanaji Sawant’s tender, Ajit Pawar said that he had taken information regarding it from the media, and soon the decision regarding this will be taken after investigating the entire incident. Further, giving strict warning to PMPML depot manager and drivers for harassing females, Ajit Pawar said that he had taken information regarding these cases and soon the appropriate action would be taken against the accused in this regard.
