The Sena mouthpiece said that when flood-hit citizens of Nagpur were seeking help, “Fadnavis was busy taking Ganesh darshan and holding closed-door meetings in Mumbai”.
Criticising Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece Saamana said Tuesday that his Nagpur development model was swept away on Saturday in barely four hours of rain.
“Devendra Fadnavis calls himself the ‘suputra’ (son) of Nagpur. In barely four hours of rain, Nagpur was drowned. His lies of development were exposed. The mask came off the face of self-appointed contractors of Nagpur… Will he and his parivaar now do some self-introspection,” the editorial in Saamana said.
Incessant rainfall flooded several low-lying areas in Nagpur, prompting the government to relocate at least 400 people to safety on Saturday.
The editorial went on to add that when flood-hit citizens of Nagpur were seeking help, “Fadnavis was busy taking Ganesh darshan and holding closed-door meetings in Mumbai. After the damage was done, Fadnavis landed in his hometown. He met the flood-hit citizens, visited the affected areas, and made a promise of compensation… All this will happen, but as a government and trustee of Nagpur, whatever he has done, has been exposed by the flooding that took place in the city on Saturday.”
