Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) MLA Rohit Pawar on Saturday alleged that the Maharashtra government was shielding contractors involved in the Mumbai-Pune Expressway's Missing Link project because they allegedly fund the ruling parties.
Addressing a press conference, Pawar claimed there was a "politician-contractor nexus" behind the government's defence of the Missing Link project despite concerns raised after recent landslides near the project site.
