''Congress has now spread the news that the present government has increased the water supply rate by 10 times. But, who actually made this increase?'' Fadnavis asked.
“On March 29, 2022, Maharashtra Water Resources Regulatory Authority (MWRRA) issued an order and the rate increase took place accordingly. This entire rate hike happened during Maha Vikas Aghadi and now they are blaming us,” Fadnavis claimed.
Run-off and private pump irrigation rates were different in 2018. However, in 2022, flow-through rates were introduced instead of separate rates for private withdrawals. Therefore it was increased from Rs 500 to Rs 5000. ''This sin is of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. The work to stop the rate increase is in the final stages so that farmers are not fined. The proceedings will be completed in the next week,” Fadnavis said.
''I also request the media that the opposition will continue to provide news for fake narrative in the elections.'' But, this should be investigated. Now the people of the state should decide which was the “Sultani” government?
Fadnavis' criticism comes a day after the state Congress unit claimed that there were cracks on the Mumbai Trans Harbor Link-Atal Setu, connecting Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Fadnavis and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority clarified that the cracks were not on the bridge but on the approach road connecting MTHL to Ulwe towards Mumbai.
