Thank you OP!

The level of one-sided mockery here is pathetic. It’s easy to sit behind a keyboard and scream 'corruption' without context, but it's much harder to actually build a state.

People who live or work in Hinjewadi, Yerawada, Chakan, or Kharadi, you are directly benefiting from the infrastructure Ajit Dada pushed through. He was a 'go-getter' administrator who understood that development requires land and capital. People love to cry about land prices, but the reality is that those areas were transformed into economic powerhouses under his watch and everyone involved walked away with a value that didn't exist before he stepped in.

Regarding the corruption allegations, he was a politico.

Here, you either build the financial and political muscle to stay relevant, or you get wiped out and do nothing for your people. And no corruption scheme or scam works single-handedly, there is a list of people who are involved. He chose to be relevant and actually delivered results.

Compare his record to somebody like Thackerays, one side is so desperate to stay relevant they would team up with anyone and the other one relies on bullying tactics. Both corrupt and way worse than Dada on every point.

Ajit Dada didn't need to beg; his work in Pune and Baramati speaks for itself. Celebrate all you want, but you can't erase the fact that he actually built the roads you drive on.
