Abolition of toll, cut in power rates main issues in polls: Munde

Munde and Uddhav said the saffron combine with their allies have decided to come together to overthrow the Congress-NCP government in the state.

“A committee of Uddhav, Athavale, Shetty, Jankar and myself has been set up to discuss the seat-sharing arrangement,” Munde said, adding the new entrants to the NDA fold will not be “let down”.

Meanwhile, to a query on allotting a Rajya Sabha seat to Athavale, Uddhav said the decision would be taken at “appropriate time”.

The agitations against collection of road tax by private companies manning toll booths turned strident of late with suspected members of MNS and Shiv Sena allegedly ransacking and burning down toll booths in western Maharashtra town of Kolhapur.

After the Delhi government led by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced subsidised power tariff, Congress MPs Sanjay Nirupam and Priya Dutt too are raising the demand for cut in electricity rates in Mumbai and suburbs.
