The MVA government did not spend a single paisa on the development of the Marathwada region, especially Jalna district, Fadnavis said, adding that the erstwhile BJP government had initiated the Marathwada Water Grid project, which could solve the problems of drinking water and irrigation.
”But the MVA dispensation did not release a single paisa for the project. Had this scheme been implemented, the water woes of the region would have been resolved. The present government has killed the Marathwada Water Grid Project,” the Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly alleged. He also claimed that the Thackeray-led government did not give extension to the Marathwada Statutory Development Board after it got dissolved in 2020, due to which the governor currently has no power to sanction funds for the region.
”If the government does not wake up from its slumber and solve the water problems, people will remove it from power,” Fadnavis said. He also accused the state government of not spending the money sanctioned by the Narendra Modi government under the latter’s Jal Jeevan Mission for solving the issues concerning water availability in the state.
