Ajit Pawar Blames Drowsiness For Road Mishaps on Samruddhi-Mahamarg Expressway

Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Saturday pointed out that the recurring accidents on the Samruddhi-Mahamarg Expressway primarily take place due to drivers feeling fatigue or drowsiness.

While addressing reporters following his attendance at the inauguration ceremony of several development projects in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar district, Pawar commented,

"The roads of Samruddhi-Mahamarg Expressway are very straight and that’s why drivers feel sleepy and accidents happen. However, whatever the reason may be, it needs to be improved."

Commenting on the reservation, Pawar opined that the Opposition is using the Maratha reservation issue for political gains and playing politics around it.

Pawar remarked, "Mahayuti government is in favour of giving the reservation to

Marathas but not by touching the reservation of other communities.”

He further added, “The reservation must stand in the court too, however, it’s very unfortunate that the opposition is doing politics in it."

Previously this week, an all-party meeting concerning the Maratha reservation issue took place at the Sahyadari Guest House in Mumbai.

The Monday meeting was chaired by CM Shinde and saw the participation of Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, among other prominent figures.

CM Shinde stated in his speech, "In the meeting, we have decided to give reservation to Marathas. The government is of the view to give reservations to Maratha without touching the other (castes) reservations".

"The decision to give reservations to Marathas must be valid legally and it must stand in law, so we are working on it…the government has accepted many of the protester's demands too", he further added.
