The mayor of Pune had threatened to resign if the road conditions are not corrected satisfactorily. She even stopped using the car provided by the government and has started using it again because the roads are good now. It appears, when a spineless Mayor – who does not have many constitutional rights anyway – threatens something, it is taken very seriously. The commissioner then went into top gear to make roads better.
This project was destined to be doomed from the start. Everyone knows that the condition is beyond repair. What could not be done from October 2005 to May 2006 cannot be achieved in the short span of four days. And wherever the roads have been worked upon, the condition is okay only till the next shower. Come next rainy season, we will have to go through the same despair. But Madam Mayor, you have been a part of the government for a long time now. You know the road conditions and you also know what will happen next rainy season. What steps are you taking towards correcting this problem? Or are you going to threaten again the next year? Or was this just a farce? Did you even mean it?
