Prithviraj Chavan attacks Modi government
Former Union minister Prithviraj Chavan on Sunday attacked the Central government on many issues, including lack of jobs for the youth
Nashik: Former Union minister Prithviraj Chavan on Sunday attacked the Central government on many issues, including "lack of jobs" for the youth.
He alleged that the Union government was pursuing the Bullet Train and the Samruddhi Corridor projects, which are of no use for the common man.
The Bullet Train project envisages connecting Mumbai in Maharashtra to Ahmedabad in Gujarat through the high- speed train.
The proposed Sammrudhi Corridor project aims at constructing a mega highway connecting Mumbai to Nagpur, a distance of over 700 km. "The BJP governments at the Centre and in Maharashtra have failed to generate jobs for the youth.
The situation is also grim on the agriculture front, as farmers are committing suicide due to distress," he said, while addressing a function in Nashik city in Maharashtra. He said the fare of the bullet train will prove "exorbitant" for the common people.
Chavan alleged that people will be made to pay heavy toll for using the Samruddhi Corrdior.
The former chief minister alleged the loan waiver announced by the state government in2017 is inaccessible for most of the farmers.
