Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, Ajit Pawar, has raised concerns over contractors submitting bills for development work that is never completed, emphasizing that such malpractice will not be tolerated. Speaking in Partur, Jalna district, he addressed the issue while welcoming ex-MLA Suresh Jethliya to his Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).

Pawar lamented the poor quality of development projects, despite significant government spending, and insisted that contractors engaging in such activities should stay away from the NCP. Highlighting government waste on salaries and pensions without corresponding improvements, he urged officials to uphold their responsibilities.
