Special happiness to our Mayor in CSN
--“I am especially happy that we will elect the mayor of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Earlier, there was a mayor of Aurangabad. Now there will be a mayor of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar,” the Chief Minister said.
--He said that Aurangzeb was not the hero of Indian Muslims or anything of that sort. “ He harassed and oppressed Hindus and Muslims alike and committed injustice. There is no reason to preserve his symbols,” he said.
--Devendra Fadnavis also announced that their agenda in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar will be to improve roads and remove encroachments.
--He further said that they aim to make the city completely ‘water-abundant’.

Uddhav Thackeray obstructed Samruddhi Expressway
“When we decided to construct the Nagpur–Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway, there was the issue of land acquisition. People believed that land acquisition takes ten years or more. Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar held meetings here and told people not to give even an inch of land for Samruddhi. I decided that we would pay five times the value of the land. I raised the funds and started paying the compensation. Once people began receiving the money, all the villagers from the same villages where Uddhav Thackeray had said not to give even an inch of land handed over their land for the Samruddhi Expressway within a single day. We acquired all the land for the 800-km-long road within nine months,” Devendra Fadnavis said.
