Govt has not sent Centre any proposal to build rural roads, says Devendra Fadnavis

Former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday alleged that at a time when other states are availing central funds for strengthening rural road infrastructure, the Uddhav Thackeray government has not even sent a proposal in this regard to the Centre.

Terming this as unfortunate, Fadnavis wrote to Uddhav: “The Centre has sanctioned 17,000-km rural road projects after receiving proposals from states. It is willing to sanction funds. Unfortunately, Maharashtra appears to be lagging behind.” He added that the CM should immediately convene a review meeting and put up a concrete proposal for the Centre’s consideration.
