White paper on irrigation is a commitment: Chavan

Issuing a white paper on irrigation is a commitment to the Legislative Assembly, Chavan said after the weekly cabinet meeting here.

"We are a coalition and discussions between two parties are normal course. There is a mechanism of co-ordination," he added.

When asked about criticism that the white paper will not yield any substantial result to pin point accountability for irregularities in the department, Chavan replied, "that is your view."

To a query on reports that Ajit Pawar was not answering his calls few days before quitting ministerial posts, he said ,"That's not true. He was unwell."

Meanwhile, on the issue of opposition to opening of the new Legislature building in Belgaum on October 11, Chavan said, "I have taken up the matter with appropriate authorities."
