A day after the Opposition leader Vijay Wadettiwar claimed there was a cold war between CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar over reviewing big infra projects, the latter has clarified that his “project monitoring unit” was supplementary to the CM’s war room that will continue to control and guide the infra projects under the leadership of Shinde.
“The purpose is to accelerate development. And the efforts of the deputy CM’s project monitoring unit will show positive results in the days to come,” said a statement from Pawar’s office, adding that his efforts be seen objectively by the people. Wadettiwar had accused Pawar of encroaching upon Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s authority. He had said that the CM was upset and proceeded on a three-day break to his native because of Pawar’s infringement.
