Sharad Pawar's Jibe Before PM Inaugurates "Incomplete" Projects In Pune

Sharad Pawar's jibe came a day before PM Modi is scheduled to visit Pune for the inauguration of the metro service and unveiling other projects.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday said the work of the metro service to be inaugurated by the PM is incomplete, and underlined the need to focus more on rescuing Indian students stranded in war-hit Ukraine.

The prime minister is scheduled to visit Pune on Sunday for the inauguration of the metro service and unveiling other projects.

"I agree that there are important projects in Pune that are incomplete and the PM will be inaugurating the important one....rescuing students stranded in Ukraine is more important. I think the ruling party must be thinking of it seriously," Mr Pawar said.

He was speaking to reporters after inaugurating a hospital in the Warje area of the city.
