BJP MP from Palghar boycotts CMs function to name Middle Vaitarna after Shiv Sena supremo

Palghar, Sep 1 (UNI) A BJP MP from Palghar, Chintaman Wanga, today boycotted a function organised for naming the Middle Vaitarna dam after Shiv Sena supremo late Bal Thackeray in the Mokhada taluka of the district where Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was also present.
Visibly annoyed, Mr Wanga told this reporter that as an MP of the constituency, he should have been invited for the programme earlier but he was invited at the eleventh hour this morning while the function was scheduled to be held at noon.
Mr Wanga, who had carried out agitation against the project, said the people of the area who are mostly tribals had opposed this project earlier as the compensation to be paid to them was very meager at Rs 19,000 per acre.
There is no row at position 0.
