The Sena chief said he wants to apologise to Puneites as he could not focus hard on the city which is caught in the grip of severe traffic jams. When I was the chief minister, I did whatever I could…Without anyone demanding, I waived off the loans of farmers. When he asked as to why his party neglected Pune and concentrated more on Mumbai, Uddhav said,”Our party has good base in Pune. Had I remained the chief minister, by this December, Mumbaikars would have got drinking water from the sea. Be it Pune, Mumbai or Bengluru, all these cities are in the grip of traffic jams.
