As
Maharashtra Urban Development Minister Bhaskar Jadhav rained crores of
rupees on his children's marriage party last month, in a village just
400 km away another wedding had to be called off due to acute financial
crisis caused by the drought in the area.
"There is no rain, no water where will I bring the money from to get my daughter married? So we have cancelled the plan."
A class 3 student, Mangal Kharat, said she was forced to leave school midway to fetch water which has impacted her studies.
A farmers' leader from Jalna, Laxman Wadle, said, "This drought is the result of the large scale corruption. Farmers will have no option but to commit suicide and this will not be a suicide. It will be a murder for which the state will be responsible."
It was not surprising to find that most of the contracts for these barrages were given to those close to the new Maratha strongman -- Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar -- who held the irrigation ministry for 14 years.
A case in point is the Gosekhurd Irrigation Project whose initial Budget in 1982 was 309 crores. Today the budget for this project has been increased to 6609 crores. But less than 1% work has been completed in 31 years. Contracts have been given to people from all parties including Mitesh Bhangadiya(BJP), Ramarao(congress), Ajay Sancheti(BJP)
AAP Maharashtra had already exposed how BJP-NCP-Congress have a symbiotic relationship when it comes to reaping monetary benefits.
Half the canal that never got built was to be made by Cong leader's firm. Other half by BJP MP firm. No wonder no one's making a fuss.
Meanwhile, AAP Maharashtra has set a target to collect 15 Lakh KG grain from public to distribute it in drought area.
