MUMBAI
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has contradicted its own leader and home minister RR Patil by dismissing the idea of a white paper on Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has contradicted its own leader and home minister RR Patil by dismissing the idea of a white paper on Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
The party has said the MMRDA’s website has all information on their projects and it can be treated as a white paper.
NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said the party doesn’t think that the white paper was needed to be issued for any department.
“Our party has not asked for the white paper of any department. Whatever RR Patil said was his opinion and you should ask him about it,” he said on Thursday when mediapersons asked about the party stand.
Malik added that the MMRDA has a comprehensive website and all the information about its projects is available on the site. “The information on the website is as good as white paper and it is accessible to all,” he said.
Eyebrows were raised on the party stand as the party has come out openly in defence of chief minister Prithviraj Chavan, who heads the MMRDA.
It was only after the chief minister demanded a white paper of the irrigation department, headed by the NCP minister, that the leaders have been targeting the departments controlled by the Congress ministers.
Last week, Patil targeted the chief minister after a mishap at the site of metro rail project in Andheri. He said the projects undertaken by the authority have been badly hit and the Mumbaikars are paying heavy price for the same.
Deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar backed Patil, saying what the home minister said is more important. “Though it was a political statement, the home minister has point in demanding a white paper. RR knows politics better and what to demand at what time,” Pawar said.
