Not happy with Maha performance in tackling drought: Uddhav

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray today said he was not satisfied with the performance of the BJP-led government, of which his party is also a constituent, pertaining to drought mitigation.

"I am unhappy with the government's performance about drought work. However, it's time to help out people in crisis and not to blame government," Thackeray said.

The Sena chief was on tour of Osmanabad district in worst-hit Marathwada region.

On the occasion, he dedicated to people the 'Shiv Jal Kranti' water conservation project in Paranda tehsil.

The project covers 78 villages in the district.

He took a dig at NCP MP Supriya Sule over her tour of the region recently.
 

"Maharashtra has a 137-year-old history of drought. However, the previous governments failed to work effectively. Recently, an NCP leader came here in a big van on drought tour. NCP was in power for last 15 years. Had it worked well this situation would not have arrived," Thackeray said.
