Lack of unity may take sting out of opposition attack
NAGPUR: Even though the winter assembly session that begins from Monday is set to be a stormy one as the opposition will hound the government over a host of issues like the irrigation scam, lack of unity among them will take away the viciousness of their attack. There seems to be no unanimity among them on various issues.
The opposition comprising of the BJP, Shiv Sena, MNS and other parties are not even clear on whether to boycott chief minister Prithviraj Chavan's tea party on Sunday. All these parties have declared that they will take a decision on attending the tea-party only on Sunday after holding discussions. This shows that the parties are yet to finalize their strategies to corner theDemocratic Front government.
Earlier, leader of opposition in council, Vinod Tawde had said in a press that they will target corruption and also take up various issues related to Vidarbha. He had said that irrigation scam will top their agenda.
He blamed the government for failing to clear State Act bill against private moneylenders. The bill is pending before the President. He said that this inaction on the part of the government has led to a jump in number of farmers' suicides since 2005.
The BJP leader held home minister RR Patil and cooperation minister responsible for over 4,000 farmer deaths in six districts since 2008 to November this year. Reading out statistics, Tawde claimed that the number of farmers who opted for loan from moneylender in 2011 was 77% more than that in 2010. "Since 2005, about 8,324 farmers have committed suicide due to all these factors," he said, demanding resignations of the home and cooperation ministers.
MNS has made it clear that they will not walkout from the House over any issue and will stress on holding discussions. MNS leader Bala Nandgaonkar said that they will target Pawar over the irrigation scam. "We want the government to table Vijay Pandhre's letter regarding irregularities in irrigation projects in the House. We will also come out with a status report on various projects in Vidarbha," he said.
"The CM has betrayed the people by re-inducting Pawar. He has not placed the white paper on irrigation in the House stating that he has not yet read it. The money involved in the scam i.e. Rs70,000 crore is a huge one."
"We will also focus on issues related to Vidarbha like delay in completion of Mihan and Gosikhurd projects, load-shedding, drought, and orange processing units. The issue of ever rising crime graph in the city during the tenure of former CP Ankush Dhanvijay will be also be raised," he assured.
Nandgaonkar said that his party has written a letter to the assembly chairman Dilip Walse Patil and parliamentary affairs minister Harshwardhan Patil requesting them to convene a special session to pay tributes to late Thackeray. Many dignitaries and high-profile politicians will be arriving in the city on Sunday for the session.
"Since 2005, about 8,324 farmers have ended their lives due to their inability to pay back the loan that they have taken from the money lenders at very high interest rates
