SRA: Deshmukh endorses Kalmadi stance
Section Investment Pune Posted on Sun Jan 14, 2007 at 08:22:44 AM EST
The Congress made full use of Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh's visit to the city to drive home a political point that they still held the upper hand in the coalition ministry. If earlier this month, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) had organised a rally of slum dwellers and district guardian minister Ajit Pawar had given an assurance to them that they would be given flats having 450 sq ft area, Deshmukh almost cut it down by 100 sq ft.
The Chief Minister, while addressing the rally, said the State government would consider MP Suresh Kalmadi's demand to allot flats having a carpet area of 350 sq ft to slum dwellers in Pune under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority scheme. Without taking names, but in an indirect reference to Ajit Pawar, he told the slum dwellers not to fall prey to people who show them dreams that would never come true. Setting the political tone for the upcoming civic elections, Deshmukh made all the right noises by promising all help to the slum dwellers. However, he refrained from making any announcement. Deshmukh promised to extend the existing 1995 cut off date for rehabilitation of slum dwellers to 2000. He also assured the State Government would work out schemes to rehabilitate resident of slums which have come up on Central government lands after holding discussions with the departments concerned. Deshmukh assured the State government's full cooperation to the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) in getting funds from the Centre under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. "The State government will endorse all JN-NURM proposals sent by the PMC," he promised. Source: ExpressIndia.com
