MUMBAI: On the eve of Maharashtra’s golden jubilee celebrations, chief minister Ashok Chavan has promised to make it a global state. For Mumbaikars, the CM’s promises for what they are worth hold out hope of a better quality of life. “We are determined to make it a world-class city. I will ensure that all infrastructure projects are completed by 2012,’’ he said.
Meanwhile, the foot soldiers of the original army of the Samyukta Maharashtra movement are a disillusioned lot. “We fought for the cause of the Marathi manoos before it became a political slogan. Little did we know that rich rulers would get richer by turning mills into malls,’’ they rued in Parel, the heartland of the Marathi community.
