Mumbai: While inaugurating the Sahar Elevated Road, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar took potshots at MNS chief Raj Thackeray for taking up the toll issue as the elections are approaching, whereas Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan preferred keeping mum on the subject.
Speaking at the inauguration function, Pawar said, "There are some people who are raising the issue of toll just because elections are approaching. There is no harm in doing protest but it should not be done in such a way that it causes inconvenience to the common man."
