Patel Criticizes Nagpur's Development Under BJP Rule
Praful Patel, a leader from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), spoke at a public meeting in Nagpur.
He said that even though important leaders from Nagpur, like the Maharashtra Chief Minister and a Union minister, are in power, the city still has many problems.
He mentioned that main roads are good, but smaller lanes have potholes, and there are issues with water supply, garbage collection, and bad smells from drains.
Patel said these problems can't be called development.
He also said that even though the NCP is part of the BJP-led state government, if his party is elected, they will help fix these issues.
