Pune, July 11: The BJP-SS government has spent over Rs 4000 crore on water supply projects, and provided all-weather roads to 62% villages in the State. Critics of the saffron alliance should think of the achievements before accusing it of leaving the State exchequer in doldrums, Chief Minister Narayan Rane asserted here today.

Rane criticised the Nationalist Congress Party leader Sharad Pawar and also the Congress leadership in the State without naming anyone in particular for politicising the developmental issues.

The Chief Minister was speaking after laying the foundation stone of the Rs 30 crore Neera-Bheema Cooperative Sugar Factory at Reda village in Indapur taluka.

On the accusation against the BJP-SS of destabilising the cooperative sector, Rane assailed the sugar baron for misuse of power and the cooperative network. Nearly 90 per cent of cooperative sugar factories in the State are sick due to irresponsible leadership, he added.

Rane maintained that the saffron alliance was never biased towards any of the cooperative units. He dared the Congress leaders to cite any one instance of partial treatment given to any cooperative unit. He appealed to the farmers to support the saffron combine without any fear for effectively addressing various issues related to them. Criticising the previous Congress governments, he said that the power hungry leaders even engineered splits in their own party.

Minister for Agriculture Harshavardhan Patil, Minister for Legal Affairs Dilip Sopal, Agriculture Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil and former MP S B Patil were present.

Wankhede has claimed that the series disseminates a misleading and negative portrayal of anti-drug enforcement agencies, thereby eroding public confidence in law enforcement institutions.
