Fadnavis's blast to MVA with the inauguration of Solapur flight service!
Solapur, November 30, 2024 (Special Correspondent): A new flight that has given Maharashtra a fast pace of development began today from Solapur Airport. While inaugurating the flight service of IndiGo Airlines on the Nagpur-Mumbai route, the state's Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis took a strong dig at the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government (2019-2022). "Give them a flower and say get well soon," Fadnavis indirectly took a dig at MVA with these words. Although this program has provided air connectivity to an important district like Solapur, the political atmosphere has heated up.
Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu, local MLAs, MPs and hundreds of citizens were present at this grand inauguration ceremony at Solapur Airport. Fadnavis said while cutting the ribbon, "During the MVA government, no flights were taking off from Solapur airport. Dust was flying at the airport, but now flights are taking off. This is a real journey of development!" These words started a roar among the attendees. Fadnavis's remark once again shed light on the lack of airport development during the previous government. Fadnavis alleged that Solapur airport was just a nameless place during the MVA government. With the start of this flight service, the Solapur-Mumbai distance, which earlier took six hours or more by rail or road, will now be completed in just one hour. Also, with a direct connection to Nagpur, travel in the business, education and health sectors will be convenient. "Solapur farmers will be connected to the market in Mumbai, entrepreneurs will get new opportunities and students will have access to air routes for education. This is not just a flight of an airplane, but a flight of development for Maharashtra," Fadnavis said. IndiGo Airlines has started this service, with one flight each in the morning and evening. The ticket prices will be around Rs 2,500 to 3,500, which will be affordable for the common man.
Solapur is an important district on the border of Marathwada and western Maharashtra. The district is economically prosperous due to the trade in cotton, grapes and other crops here. However, infrastructure development was slow due to the previous government. After the grand alliance government came to power, emphasis was placed on the expansion of the airport. On the occasion of today's inauguration, an expansion of 10 acres of the airport was announced. Fadnavis promised to give international status to Solapur Airport in the next two years. "This airport will become the gateway not only to Solapur, but also to the entire Vidarbha and Marathwada," he said.
In the political news, this inauguration has become a symbol of the success of the grand alliance government (BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP). This government, which came to power after the 2022 assembly elections, has given priority to aviation, metro and road development. On the other hand, MVA leaders are likely to respond to this attack. Indirect criticism of MVA was also made at this event, which was attended by Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar. "Projects were stalled due to the previous government, but now a wave of development is rising in every district," Fadnavis said. Union Minister Naidu also praised Maharashtra's development, speaking about the central government's cooperation.
This inauguration will give a big booster to the local economy of Solapur. Local hotels, taxi services and the tourism sector are expected to increase. Historical places of Solapur such as Uttares, Bhavani Temple and Siddheshwar Temple will now be easily accessible by air for tourists. Also, it will be easier for farmers to participate in trade fairs in Mumbai. CISF has been deployed for airport security, and parking and other facilities will be increased.
This attack by Fadnavis has sparked new discussions in Maharashtra politics. According to a report in Loksatta, this statement is believed to be the grand alliance's strategy for the upcoming local elections. There is a possibility of a reaction from MVA leader Uddhav Thackeray or Sharad Pawar. For now, however, Solapurkars are happy, as their district has now found a place on the air transport map.
Against the backdrop of this incident, there is talk about the rapid pace of development in Maharashtra. With the inauguration of the air service, Solapur will not be limited to just one district, but it will become the center of the state's economic development. Although this step of the Fadnavis government is being welcomed, the atmosphere has heated up due to political factions. More news about the expansion of this air service will come in the future!
