MUMBAI: Union minister and senior BJP leader
Nitin Gadkari on Monday blamed Congress-NCP for the water crisis in
Marathwada and Latur, saying
irrigation projects were only completed under the BJP government.
Addressing a rally in
Maharashtra’s Latur, Gadkari said he would turn Marathwada into
California if BJP is voted to power again. Gadkari, the union water resources minister, said that he takes responsibility of ending water scarcity woes of Latur and the drought-prone region as a whole.
