Maha: Rs 700-crore jogging track being built in Pune while farmers struggle for food: Wadettiwar

Nagpur, Oct 14 (UNI) Senior Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the Maharashtra government over drought relief, alleged forcible loan recovery from farmers, students' fees and its spending priorities, demanding immediate financial assistance for drought-hit farmers.
Addressing a press conference here, Wadettiwar alleged that while drought-hit farmers were struggling to meet their basic needs and their children were unable to pay college fees, the Public Works Department (PWD) had floated a tender for a Rs 700-crore jogging track in Pune.
