Dombivli : Union Transport and Rural affairs minister Nitin Gadkari yesterday said that Maharashtra has become the sick state of India, despite all its wealth, intellect and manpower.
He alleged that corruption and nepotism of "Congress-NCP Virus" has plundered the state, as he raised the issues of load shedding, privatisation of education and economic slump.
"Today, the state is in the debt of Rs. 3,00,000 Cr. Industries are being closed in; traders are upset over LBT and unemployment is on rise", he said before a middle-class Dombivli crowd, mostly consisting of BJP workers at city's Bhgshala Maidan. Touting the various infrastructural work done during Shiv Sena-BJP government 15 years ago, he ridiculed CM Prithviraj Chouhan for not approving development projects swiftly.
Gadkari also accused Congress-NCP for creating rift between various castes and communities in Maharashtra. "The state has been destroyed by those who swear allegiance to Phule, Shahu and Ambedkar," he said.
He inaugrated a 'Vision Document' on the occassion along with the sitting MLA and BJP candidate from Dombivali Ravindra Chavan. The city is home to a sizeable Marathi Brahmin population and has traditionally been a BJP bastion.
