Criticising the central government's handling of the floods in Pune due to continuous rainfall, NCP-SP MP Supriya Sule stated that the city's honest taxpayers have been thoroughly deceived by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
"The taxpayers are suffering due to the government's mismanagement. My demand is that they have to give a clear package, clean the area, and ensure food and water supply. People's documents have gone missing, children's books have gone missing, and the government has to pay for all this. The honest taxpayers of Pune have been completely cheated by the government," Sule said. Further, she mentioned that the smart city concept has completely failed.
"Smart city in the country has completely failed. Which city in this country is smart? Such a lot of money has been spent. Money was given for Har Ghar Jal and Har Ghar Nal but in a lot of places, there is no water in the source itself," she added.
